Hi Youthful Yogis!
A lot of my friends have been super busy lately. They have been
practicing different yoga positions, enjoying
mudras ("yoga for the hands") and even doing some awesome
partner poses. I wanted to share some of the fun with you today. And, while we're at it, I figured I could answer the age old question: "
How did that yoga pose get its name????"
|
"I've been waiting a long time to get the answer to that question!" |
Let's get started! Take a look at these cool pictures of my Youthful Yogis friends doing yoga together.
Next to each image, I've included a picture that shows how the yoga pose got it's name....

I hope you've had fun looking at yoga poses today, Youthful Yogis. And now you know how these poses got their names!
While it's true that many poses have been around for many, many years,
you can always make up postures of your own: find inspiration in the world around you, who knows what you'll come up with....?!
Have lots of fun and I'll see you again soon!
Namaste
