- 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 three images of a side view of a woman on the floor with her head to the left, feet to the right, 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 at the top of the page is the developing full bridge posture. On the left of the page the middle of her head is obscured by her lower arm which goes vertically down from the elbow to the hand. At the wrist the hand is at ninety degrees pointing to the right. From the elbow in the top left of the image the upper arm goes right and down to the shoulder. The body, facing upwards then goes up and right in a straight line to the knees. In the top right of the image the lower leg bends sharply at the knee and goes vertically down to a foot in the bottom right of the image. The image in the middle of the page is the full bridge posture. The hand in the bottom left is flat to the floor pointing to the right. The wrist is bent very sharply and the arm is straight, going up and right. The upper arm obscures most of her face. Her body, facing upwards curves round in an arc to her knees. From the knee the lower leg goes vertically down to the foot which points to the right in the bottom right of the image. The image in the bottom of the page is the easy or beginner's bridge posture. The woman's head lies on the floor looking up. Her shoulders and arm are flat on the floor. From her shoulders her body arches slightly going up and right. Her leg bends at ninety degrees at the knee and the lower leg goes vertically down to the foot which points to the right in the bottom right of the image.
