  • Clasping feet yoga posture (UEB Contracted)

    Clasping feet yoga posture (UEB Contracted)

    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 front view of a woman seated on the floor 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 in the top of the page is the full clasping feet posture. The top of the image is the womans head which is looking forward and downwards slightly. Her arms go straight down from her shoulders. She wears a vest. Her upper legs go out at right angles to her body left and right. They are acutely bent at the knee so the lower legs come back right and left and her feet touch each other. She wears leggings. The soles of the feet are rolled out slightly and she grasps her feet with her fingers and thumbs. The image in the bottom of the page is the easy or beginner's clasping feet posture. She also wears a vest and leggings. The top of the image is the womans head which is looking forwards. Her arms go down from her shoulders to the left and right. Her upper legs go out at near right angles to her body left and right. They are bent at the knee so the lower legs come back right and left and the feet nearly touch each other just in front of her. Her hands rest on her shins.
