Today we discussed some basic guidelines that we follow when we practice yoga.
Do you remember them?
1. Every forward bend is followed by a ____ back bend.
2. Every exercise that we start with one side of our body, has to be repeated with the ____ other side to complete the set.
3. Every inhalation is followed by an ____ exhalation.
4. When we do lunges, our feet should be at ____ right angles with the ground to prevent injuries to our shins or ankles and knees.
What 3 Pranayama did we learn today?
1. Anulom Vilom : we inhale and exhale deeply with our chest not our tummy.
2. Kapalbharti : we perform rapid exhalations and feel it by keeping our hand on our tummy.
3. Bhastrika : we place our thumbs on ears, fore finger on forehead, middle and ring finger goes on our closed eyes near the nose and little finger is placed gently on cheeks. With lips closed we try to hum 'Om'.
Sun Salutations
We will always start with Pranayama followed by sun salutations for every class.
What other asanas did we learn today?
Rest asanas
1. Vajrasana : sitting pose
2. Child's pose : rest pose, variation of vajrasana
3. Shavasana : Dead man's pose or complete rest pose
Can you identify the following asanas?
1. Half lotus pose
2. Padmasana: Lotus pose
3. Bhujangasana: Cobra pose
4. Adho Mukho Svanasana : Down dog pose
5. Butterfly pose
6. Ardha Matsendraysan: Half lord of the fish pose (twist pose)
7. Vrikshasana : Tree pose (balance pose)
How many animal poses did we learn today? Can you count them?
If you answer 4 you are correct!
If you consider how many living things are named in the poses that you learned, will the count still be same? No. You will add Lotus and Tree poses to the count as plants and trees also have life.
Excellent class today kids! You all did very well!
