Some Asanas from the Primary Series

Virabhadrasana - the second warrior position in the Primary Series. The emphasis here is on a firm foundation through the legs and feet, with the upper thigh of the back leg rotating outwards to open up the hips. 

Utthita Trikonasana - Keeping the hip back by rotating the thigh outwards is the key to practicing this asana properly. Aim to keep the spine straight, so that the posture does not become a pronounced side bend.

Virabhadrasana - the first warrior position in the Primary Series.  Here, the feet are slightly wider apart (heel to heel or wider) to enable the hips to turn fully and be square to the bent leg. Keep a firm foundation through the legs and avoid hunching the shoulders.

Salamba Sarvangasana - Work the hands up the back to make the body straight in shoulderstand. Keep the shoulders and neck relaxed and the abdomen drawn in.
