When committing to trying a new sport or activity – be damned, New Year’s resolutions – it can be pretty tricky to get down with the lingo.

Especially if, say, that new hobby is yoga. It’s commonplace – and we say this from experience – to find yourself having to stifle a giggle when your Lycra-clad, super-bendy instructor calmly says to move to a pose which has such a ludicrous name, you genuinely fear it’s been made up.

Which leads us nicely on to our quiz…can you guess if the names of these yoga poses are real or not? (And, if you want to try out the poses for yourselves as you go along, hey, that’s totally your prerogative).
