For instance you'll start off in downward dog (basically you bend down and touch your toes and then step back and keep your hands firmly on the ground still, try not to let your feet lift up and keep your butt lifted). Another pose that may be difficult but I like to do is three legged chair pose. You're in downward dog and you lift your right leg up and flip to your right side, being careful you don't fall. Look up some of these on Youtube. Btw I'm 17 1/2 and it took me about a month to perfect these :)<br><b>References : </b><br> Yoga is hard in the beginning because you have to be flexible and able to sustain a pose for longer than 5 seconds.
