In the beginning of Light on Yoga, there are 14 standing poses.
I know I said 14 poses, but here I have 15 pictures. Thar’s because Mr. Iyengar left out Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana.
After the last standing pose: Prasarita Padottanasana II he says this:
“All the standing poses described above are necessary for beginners. As the pupil advances they attain better flexibility annd then the standing poses can be dispensed with, though it is advisable to do them once a week.”
These poses are considered the foundational poses for all of the other poses. How many of these can you do?
