Forward bend - standing, legs wide yoga posture (Large Print)

Synopsis

This image can only give an insight into what yoga is. It cannot be used alone as a training / user guide. The posture is only one from hundreds of possibilities and cannot be used in isolation. Yoga must be taught with breathing exercises and sequencing of postures. Each posture involves a timed procedure of movement, breathing and focused thought, not a static exercise position. There are two images of a standing woman, separated by a dashed line on the page. There is a locator dot shown which will be in the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image on the top of the page is the full forward bend standing, legs wide posture. The woman wears a vest and leggings. She bends at the hip so her lower body faces forward and her upper body faces backwards. Her bottom is to the top and her feet to the bottom left and right of the page. Her legs are straight and go diagonally down to the left and right of the image. Her upper body hangs down vertically in the centre of the image. Her arms are bent and touch the floor to the left and right of her head in the bottom centre of the image. Her head does not quite touch the floor. She is looking backwards so her face cannot be found. Her hair is tied up in a bun. The image on the bottom of the page is the easy or beginner's forward bend standing, legs wide posture. The woman also wears a vest and leggings. She is seen from a three quarter view, so some of her front and some of her side on the right of the image are seen at the same time. Her bottom is to the top right and her feet to the bottom left and right of the page. Her upper body bent at the hips, goes diagonally down, forwards and left. Her arms stretch out diagonally down left and right. The upper arm to the left is hidden by the back of her head. She grasps her shins and looks at the floor so her face cannot be found. Her legs are straight. Her hair is tied up in a bun.
