Yoga (beginning with)

Last weeks we are experiencing with yoga in our sessions. As you know not only the visible part, related with poses (asanas), is important, also breathing is a main issue. We must not disregard the fact that yoga is a mental discipline and the mere physical approach always is incomplete.

In this activity (1 point of your mark) we are going to explain a pose giving the basic steps to reproduce it.
In order to do this activity:

• We are going to get the info from the site Yoga Journal [yogajournal.com].
• Open this file and search your initials [goo.gl/ghhE4p] (un enlace alternativo). Click then in your given asana.
• We are going to use only one side of a blank A4 paper.
• We note down in the title the original asana name and its "image" between brackets. In example:

Padangusthasana (Big Toe Pose)

• We draw (by hand) the final pose.
• We summarize with numbers the sequence to do the pose. (Handwritten). It is explained by far in Yoga Journal but I encourage you to simplify the steps as you can. In example:

Stand upright with your inner feet parallel and about six inches apart. Contract your front thigh muscles to lift your kneecaps. Keeping your legs completely straight, exhale and bend forward from your hip joints, moving your torso and head as one unit.
Stand upright with parallel feet. Without bending your knees and keeping your legs straight, exhale and bend forward from your hip joints, moving your torso and head as one unit.
