Watch the video and write: which parts of the body do we use in each position?
For example: To crouch we use our feet, ankle, legs, stomach and our arms to balance our body.

We use your feet especially the toes, bent knees, abdominal and arms to more balance

The feet on the floor (flat), knees in the same direction with your feet, erect back, abdominal and arms for good balance

We use the feet down on the floor, the hips are touching a surface and we have an erect spine

We stay whole body straight

We use our palms, knees and front feet on the ground

The knees and the front feet on the floor

We'll stay with a knee and the same foot on the floor, another bent knee in front of our body

We bent the upper back and stretch our legs and lumbar. The legs must be straight. at front stabilizing the core

We'll sit almost in our lumbar spine = sit wrong

The opposite of slouch, here we sit down erecting all back

Almost like stoop down but here we bend our knees and it's possible to stabilize our core.

We use the hips and the ankles are touching the ground. We can use this position for meditation.
