Light on Yoga: Week Three & Four

  1. Utthita Trikonasana
  2. Utthita Parsvakonasana
  3. Vibradrasana I
  4. Vibradrasana II
  5. Parivrtta Trikonasana
  6. Parsvottanasana
  7. Prasarita Padottanasana I
  8. Salamba Sarvangasana I
  9. Halasana
  10. Savasana
In week three and four, Mr. Iyengar has eliminated Tadasana (which should be practiced at the beginning of every standing asana) and Vrksasana. In their place, he's added Parivrtta Trikonasana, which I find difficult for a beginner, and Prasarita Padottanasana I, which must be a preparatory for Sirsasana. Short sequence and different from Geeta's introduction to standing poses. She places Vibradrasana II in between Utthita Trikonasana and Utthita Parsvakonasana. She also incorporates more standing asana into the first weeks and gentle inversions.
