Geeta Week Three

  1. Samasthiti
  2. Urdhva Baddhanguliyasana
  3. Vrksasana
  4. Utthita Trikonasana
  5. Virabhadrasana II
  6. Utthita Parsvakonasana
  7. Virabhadrasana I (turning the trunk)
  8. Utkatasana
  9. Parsvottanasana (hands down, head down)
  10. Baddha Hasta Uttanasana
  11. Ardha Halasana (swinging from floor to rest feet on wall)
  12. Paschimottanasana
  13. Setu Bandha Sarvangasana
  14. Savasana

Geeta eliminates the hand/arm asanas and instead focuses on standing asanas. Vrksasana, Virabhadrasana I, Utkatasana, Uttanasana and Setu Bandha Sarvangasana are introduced this week. From this sequence, you discover that standing asanas are important and vital in the beginning of your yoga journey. In the place of inversions, there are prepartory poses in which the head is down like Setu Bandha Sarvangasana and the inversion Halasana.
