Utkatasana
Utkatasana: The Sitting On A Chair posture is a wonderful warming posture, especially when you begin to hold the posture for 20 to 30 breaths and drop the hips more towards "sitting on a chair".
Virabhadrasana
Virabhadrasana: The Warrior Two posture requires that you use ALL the muscles and joints in the body.  Again, with practice, you will be able to develop the posture to perfection.
Vrkasana
Vrkasana: The Tree posture is a wonderful balance posture. Bone loading the ball-socket joint at the hips plus developing muscles in the leg.
Supta Virasana
Supta Virasana: Practice sitting on the backs of your heels first. Let the front of the feet stretch.  Eventually you get the "bum" on the floor between the feet.  This is a powerful posture and needs guidance thus develop it further with guided instructions.
SirBakasana Posture
SirBakasana: I believe that anyone with a sound neck and spine can, under careful instruction and guidance, do a form of head stand. This posture is not for beginners and practic is needed. Body weight on the head works the neck muscles. Inversion works the "under" side of the core body organs such as the Pancreas, Liver, Gall Bladder, Spleen and Kidneys.
Sirsana Posture
Sirsana: Head stand is only recommended for advanced practioners. If and when you start, always use a wall behing you.  Get your teacher to guide you on developing this posture.
