When it comes to crafting a yoga flow at home, simplicity is key. You want something easy-peasy yet oh-so-effective. So, grab your mat, find a cozy spot, and let's flow!

Mountain Pose (Tadasana): 

Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, arms by your sides, palms facing forward. Root down through your feet and lengthen your spine. Take a few deep breaths here, setting your intention for the practice.

Forward Fold (Uttanasana):

From Mountain Pose, hinge at your hips and fold forward, letting your torso hang loose. You can bend your knees if needed. Allow gravity to do its thing as you release tension in your hamstrings and spine.

Cat-Cow Stretch: 

Come down onto all fours, aligning wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Inhale, arch your back, and lift your gaze for Cow Pose. Exhale, round your spine, and tuck your chin for Cat Pose. Flow between these two poses, syncing movement with breath.

Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): 

From Cat-Cow, tuck your toes, lift your hips up and back, forming an inverted V shape. Press palms into the mat, and keep a slight bend in your knees. Pedal out your feet to stretch your calves and hamstrings.

Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I): 

Step your right foot forward between your hands, aligning knee over ankle. Spin your back heel down, keeping it at a 45-degree angle. Inhale, reach your arms overhead, palms facing each other. Square your hips and hold.

Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II): 

From Warrior I, open your hips and arms out to the sides, parallel to the mat. Keep your gaze over your front fingertips, sinking into your front thigh. Feel the strength and stability of a warrior.

Child's Pose (Balasana):

Sink your hips back towards your heels, extending your arms forward and resting your forehead on the mat. This gentle pose provides a moment of rest and surrender.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): 

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Press into your feet, lift your hips towards the sky, and interlace your fingers beneath you. Feel the opening in your chest and shoulders.

Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana): 

Sit on your mat with legs extended in front of you. Inhale, lengthen your spine, and exhale, fold forward from your hips. Reach for your feet or shins, finding length in your spine with each breath.

Corpse Pose (Savasana): 

Ah, the sweet surrender! Lie flat on your back, arms by your sides, palms facing up. Close your eyes and allow your body to fully relax, soaking in the benefits of your practice.

And there you have it, a blissful 15-minute yoga flow designed especially for beginners. Remember, it's not about perfection; it's about showing up on your mat with love and compassion for yourself.
