Section-by-Section Map of the Yoga Notes

Yoga in Class 7 builds on Grade 6. The unit explains what the word means, then works through joint movements, sun salutations, postures and breathing.

  • The meaning of yoga and the root Yuj
  • Yama and Niyama in daily life
  • Sukshma Vyayama, the joint movements
  • Shithilikarana Vyayama, the loosening practices
  • Surya Namaskara
  • Asanas including Dhanurasana and Matsyasana
  • Mudras and Kriyas
  • Pranayama and the regulation of breath
  • Pratyahara, Dharana and Dhyana
  • Krida Yoga, the yoga games
Concept: Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root Yuj, meaning to join. It is the union of body, breath and mind through steady practice.

How Collegedunia Wrote These Yoga Notes

The eight limbs sit in one table, and each asana has its own small drawing with the benefit written beside it. Collegedunia checks every page of these class 7 physical education handwritten notes against the textbook.

  • Eight limbs table: each limb with its Sanskrit name and one-line meaning
  • Asana guide: each posture drawn with its name and its main benefit
  • Breathing panel: the pranayama practices set out step by step
  • Colour-coded sub-headings: sub-topics in red so each practice is easy to find

The Yoga Vocabulary Class 7 Physical Education Expects

Sanskrit terms are asked with their English meaning, so learn them as pairs.

Term / IdeaWhat it means
Yogaunion of body, breath and mind, from the root Yuj meaning to join
Yamathe rules of conduct towards others
Niyamathe personal disciplines you keep for yourself
Asanaa steady and comfortable body posture
Pranayamathe regulation of breath
Pratyaharaturning the senses inward, away from distraction
Dharanaconcentration on a single point
Dhyanameditation, a steady flow of attention
Sukshma Vyayamagentle joint movements done before the main practice
Remember: The eight limbs in order: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.
Watch Out: An asana should be steady and comfortable. Forcing a posture past your range works against the whole idea of the practice.

  • The meaning of the word yoga is a one-mark answer
  • Asana names and benefits are set as a match-the-pair question
  • The session record lists the practices you have done

  • Eight limbs: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi
  • Asana means a steady and comfortable posture
  • Pranayama is the regulation of breath

  • Write the eight limbs in order without looking
  • Match five asana names to their benefits
  • Practise Surya Namaskara and note the sequence of steps
  • Before the written test, revise the eight limbs table and the asana guide
