Why Do We Hold Yoga Poses? | Try These Longer Holds

Why do we hold poses in yoga? In this practice, we’ll spend a little more time in each posture. As you follow along, you might notice where you feel strong, where your balance shifts, or how your breath changes during a hold. The quieter poses give you room to slow down and rest. We’ll begin with Child’s Pose, then move through Chair Pose, Standing Figure Four, Warrior II, and Goddess Pose before winding down with Supine Butterfly and Savasana. Move at your own pace and notice what each posture feels like for you. You can come out of a hold whenever you need to. I also offer personalized one-on-one online yoga coaching, so we can practice together wherever you’re based. If you’re interested, comment below or message me on Instagram at @deesayogaworld.
