- Synopsis
- This image can only give an insight into what yoga is. It cannot be used alone as a training / user guide. The posture is only one from hundreds of possibilities and cannot be used in isolation. Yoga must be taught with breathing exercises and sequencing of postures. Each posture involves a timed procedure of movement, breathing and focused thought, not a static exercise position. There are four images of a standing woman, separated by two dashed lines on the page. In each image she wears a vest and leggings. There is a locator dot shown which will be in the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image on the top left of the page is a view from the side of the full deep standing forward bend posture. The woman bends at the hip so her lower body faces to the left and her upper body down and to the right. Her bottom is to the top right and her feet to the bottom left and right of the image. Her legs are straight and go diagonally down to the left and right of the image. Her upper body is bent down diagonally left. Her arms are bent behind her back and her palms touch together with the fingers pointing down and left in the top left of the image so the forearms cannot be found. Her head is in the middle left of the image looking down and right. Her face touches her shin on the left. Her hair is tied up in a bun. The image on the bottom left of the page is a view from the front of the full deep standing forward bend posture. The woman bends at the hip so her lower body faces forwards and her upper body down and backwards. Her bottom is to the top and her feet to the bottom of the page. Her legs are straight and go down the image. Her arms are bent behind her back with the upper arms going up the page and the lower arms left and right so her palms touch together with the fingers pointing down. Her head is in the in the lower middle of the image looking away so only the back of her head can be found. Her leg on the left is largely hidden by her head. Her hair is tied up in a bun.
