Yoga for beginners Hi Renee, your father has made a wise decision of selecting yoga for flexibility; it will also help him remain fit and healthy. If he is entirely new to yoga then it would be better if he takes some training session under a certified teacher to avoid any health related problems. After he is comfortable with it he can depend on the tapes. You can get these tapes online or in stores where you get other yoga equipments.
To begin with yoga certain things have to be kept in mind which is important like breathing pattern. At first keep things simple, slowly when you are used to simple poses try other challenging pose. The following poses are helpful for beginners – downward facing dog pose, garland pose, mountain pose, pyramid pose, extended side angle pose, raised hands pose, triangle pose, warrior pose I and II, cobra pose, easy pose, head to knee pose, seated forward bend, half lord of the fishes pose, seated wide legged straddle pose, staff pose, child's pose, corpse pose, goddess pose, happy baby pose, pelvic tilts, leg up the wall pose, reclined big toe pose, cat-cow stretch, cobra pose, lotus pose, half lotus pose, plank pose, bridge pose, tree pose and hands and knees balanced.
