1: Boat Pose\u00a0Paripurna Navasana:<\/h4>\n

(par-ee-POOR-nah nah-VAHS-anna)paripurna<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= full, entire, completenava<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= boat<\/p>\n

2: Bridge Pose\u00a0Setu Bandha Sarvangasana:<\/h4>\n

(SET-too BAHN-dah)<\/i>setu<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= dam, dike, or bridgebandha<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= lock<\/p>\n

3: Crane (Crow) Pose\u00a0Bakasana:<\/h4>\n

(bahk-AHS-anna)<\/i>baka<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= crane<\/p>\n

4: Fish Pose\u00a0Matsyasana:<\/h4>\n

Traditionally Fish Pose is performed with the legs in Padmasana. Since Padmasana is beyond the capacity of most beginning students, here we\u0092ll work either with the knees bent, feet on the floor, or with the legs straight pressed against the floor.\u00a0(mot-see-AHS-anna)<\/i><\/p>\n

5: Half Frog Pose:<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

6: Half Moon Pose\u00a0\u00a0Ardha Chandrasana:<\/h4>\n

The moon has a rich symbolic significance in yoga mythology. In hatha yoga, for example, the sun and the moon represent the two polar energies of the human body. In fact, the word hatha itself is often divided into its two constituent syllables, \u201cha\u201d and \u201ctha\u201d, which are then esoterically interpreted as signifying the solar and lunar energies respectively.<\/p>\n

(are-dah chan-DRAHS-anna)\u00a0<\/span><\/i>ardha<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= half\u00a0candra<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>= glittering, shining, having the brilliancy or hue of light (said of the gods); usually translated as \u201cmoon\u201d<\/p>\n

7: Pigeon Pose\u00a0Kapotasana:<\/h4>\n

Kneel upright, with your knees slightly narrower than hip width apart and your hips, shoulders, and head stacked directly above your knees. With your hands, press down against the back of your pelvis.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_3" _builder_version="4.2.2" background_color="#f7f7f7" custom_padding="40px|20px|40px|20px|false|false" border_width_all="1px" border_color_all="#d3d3d3"][et_pb_image src="https:\/\/vinyasayogaacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/OUR-PHILOSOPHY.jpg" url="https:\/\/vinyasayogaacademy.com\/" module_class="sticky" _builder_version="4.2.2"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
