Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

This position eases tensions in the shoulders and neck and improves circulation.

Answer: Rabbit

The rabbit position works the lungs.

3. This position involves the body being supported horizontally by the forearms alone.

Answer: Peacock

This is a very difficult posture as it's quite a balancing act!

4. This position involves lying down on your stomach with your legs together then placing your hand flat on either side of your chest and raising your head.

Answer: Cobra

The cobra position stretches your spine, chest and abdomen.

5. This position involves lying on your stomach with your legs together and clenching your fists under your groin before raising first right and then left legs.

Answer: Locust

The lifting and lowering of the legs should be done slowly with proper breathing.

6. This position involves sitting in a kneeling position, taking a deep breath and on the exhale, sticking out your tongue as far as it will go with eyes open.

Answer: Lion

The lion posture would look rather amusing to anyone watching, but it's useful for releasing neck and jaw tension.

7. This position involves kneeling on all fours with your hands apart, arms straight and then arching your back.

This position really does look like a cat having a stretch after a nap. It has the same invigorating effect for humans too.

Answer: Dog

The dog positions strengthens the calves and ankles and also stretches the back and shoulders. I believe this posture is also called 'downward-facing dog'.

9. This posture involves a complicated twisting of the hands while standing with the legs twisted in a similar fashion.

Answer: Eagle

The purpose of this is balancing and should help you focus when you feel confused.

10. And the last one of all I will make rather easy. In which language was yoga first written?

Answer: Sanskrit

Yoga dates back to around 200-400 B.C. and was written in the ancient language of Sanskrit. The word 'yoga' itself means 'to yoke or harness' and this is the purpose of yoga - to harness the body and mind energy. I hope you've enjoyed this quiz!
