Ready-made practice
Yoga for Relaxation
A simple 15-minute practice using poses from the LearnYoga.net library.
Move at a comfortable pace and use the individual pose guides whenever you need setup, modification or safety details. The suggested timing is flexible. Pause, shorten or skip a pose when that serves your practice better.
What this routine is for
This sequence is organised as relaxation practice at a beginner level. The listed duration is a guide rather than a target. Pause longer, shorten a hold or stop the session when that makes the practice more appropriate for you.
Areas involved across the sequence: hips, knees, lower-back, spine, shoulders, hamstrings, full-body, neck.
How to approach the sequence
Move through the poses in order instead of treating them as an isolated checklist. Let the earlier movements establish your pace and range, use the middle of the routine for its main work, then allow the final poses to reduce intensity where the sequence provides that transition.
If a transition feels abrupt, pause in a comfortable neutral position before moving on. Read How Yoga Sequencing Works to understand why pose order matters.
Your sequence
- Step 1 of 6Easy Pose150 sec
Easy Pose is a simple cross-legged seat used for breathing, meditation and quiet pauses in practice. The shape is straightforward, but it is usually more comfortable when the pelvis is slightly elevated and the knees are allowed to settle in their own range.
Transition: Move comfortably into the next pose.
- Step 2 of 6Supported Child's Pose150 sec
Supported Child's Pose is a quiet kneeling forward fold with the torso resting on props. It can make the shape more spacious for the back, hips and shoulders than an unsupported version, especially when folding deeply or reaching the floor is not comfortable.
Transition: Move comfortably into the next pose.
- Step 3 of 6Reclining Bound Angle Pose150 sec
Reclining Bound Angle Pose is a supported supine hip opener with the soles of the feet together and the knees falling out to the sides. It can be a quiet finishing shape, but it works best when the legs are supported enough that the groins and lower back do not have to brace.
Transition: Move comfortably into the next pose.
- Step 4 of 6Supine Spinal Twist150 sec
Supine Spinal Twist is a floor-based twist that gently rotates the spine and shifts the work out of the feet and hands. It is often used near the end of practice to unwind the back, soften the waist and ribs, and let the breath settle.
Transition: Move comfortably into the next pose.
- Step 5 of 6Legs Up the Wall Pose150 sec
Legs Up the Wall Pose is a quiet supported inversion done on the floor with the legs resting against a wall. It can be a simple way to pause, soften effort and give the back body a break after standing or sitting for a long time.
Transition: Move comfortably into the next pose.
- Step 6 of 6Corpse Pose150 sec
Corpse Pose is a quiet resting position done lying on your back. It gives your practice a clear ending and lets the body settle after effort without asking for a big stretch or shape.
Transition: Move comfortably into the next pose.
Adjusting the routine
You do not need to complete every pose exactly as listed. Open a pose guide when you need a modification, prop option, contraindication note or a clearer explanation of the setup. If one pose is not suitable today, use a related easier option where the relationship data provides one, or skip it and continue when the next transition makes sense.
