2.

If you can perform the Head to Knee successfully, the Forward Bend will not give you too much difficulty.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

If you are able to successfully perform the Head to Knee pose, it means that you have developed flexibility and strength in your hamstrings and lower back. These are the same muscles that are used in the Forward Bend pose. Therefore, if you can do the more challenging Head to Knee pose, the less challenging Forward Bend pose should not be too difficult for you.

Many Yoga asanas are named after animals and it is usually easy to see why.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Many Yoga asanas are indeed named after animals because the poses often mimic the characteristics or movements of those animals. For example, the pose called "Downward Dog" imitates the stretching and elongation of a dog's body. Similarly, "Cat-Cow" pose replicates the arching and rounding of a cat's back. These animal-inspired names not only make it easier to remember the poses but also help practitioners connect with the natural world and embody the qualities associated with those animals during their practice.

While______ in the Forward Bend, bend forward and grasp your toes, ankles or calves.
- Exhaling
- Inhaling
- Breathing
Correct Answer

A. Exhaling

Explanation

Exhaling is the correct answer because when performing the Forward Bend, it is recommended to exhale while bending forward and grasping the toes, ankles, or calves. This is because exhaling helps to release tension and allows for a deeper stretch in the forward bend position. Inhaling or breathing, while important in yoga practice, does not specifically relate to the action of bending forward in this particular pose.
