Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga If you're lucky enough to be visiting the beach in the last few weeks of summer (or if you want to feel like you are), try adding some ocean-themed poses to your routine. Each of the three poses below is very adaptable to suit different levels and styles of yoga asana practice. Mermaid Yoga Pose - Pigeon Variation Mermaid is fun to try, but if you are more of a beginner, you could also stick with pigeon. Both a great hip openers, but mermaid adds in a bit of back-bending, balancing, and binding, making it more of an intermediate pose.
