Light on Yoga: Week Five & Six

  1. Utthita Trikonasana
  2. Utthita Parsvakonasana
  3. Virabhadrasana I
  4. Virabhadrasana II
  5. Parivrtta Trikonasana
  6. Parsvottanasana
  7. Prasarita Padottanasana I
  8. Urdhva Prasarita Padasana
  9. Pariporrna Navasana
  10. Ardha Navasana
  11. Salamba Sarvangasana I
  12. Halasana
  13. Ujjayi Pranayama in Savasana
I found it very interesting that Mr. Iyengar introduces Urdhva Prasarita Padasana and Navasana. These are asanas that I don't practice on a daily basis and are not regularly incorporated in my weekly classes. I found it especially interesting that he introduces pranayama so quickly. I was told that pranayama should be taught and practiced only when a yogini has a regular and steady asana practice. I'm glad that I have decided to start working my way through these weekly courses in Light on Yoga; it refreshes my memory on asanas and proper techniques. I also understand sequencing more, something that can still be confusing.
