La vocabulaire du yoga

Cath and I have started going to yoga classes. It is my debut on a yoga mat – Cath is a bit more experienced.

Amandine (l) gets ready for our class

Our teacher, Amandine, likes to practice her English now she has two English students in her class.

But nevertheless the classes have thrown up a number of new French words.

  • La omoplate – shoulder blade
  • Le bassin – pelvis
  • Chien tête en bas- downward dog
  • Chien tête en haut – upward-facing dog
  • Le nombril – bellybutton

As if yoga wasn’t hard enough already.
