• I will do this review today or tomorrow.

Review

• Earwig detected low percentages of copying, so this passes that.
  • Noted.

• " yoga as exercise" should it be "as an" exercise?
  • It's correct as it is, exercise as a thing of quantity.

• Is there any more info on the origin? If not, this section should be good.
  • That's about it on this aspect.

• hyphen between "20th" and "century"
  • Added.

• " B. K. S. Iyengar's 1966 Light on Yoga grades it as level 32 out of 60." on what scale? And say something like "Yoga specialist B. K. S...."
  • The scale is the "out of 60", which is Iyengar's own. Added.

• "head is lifted from the ground so the body is supported only by the forearms" remove "from the ground"
  • Done.

• the word "variant" is repetitive, change to "form", "variety", etc.
  • Would much prefer not to do that, as all the Yoga articles use this word with this meaning.

• "props and are able to land safely if they fall; this requires the ability to perform backarches such as Urdhva " change "are able to" to "can", and "backarches" is two words.
  • Reworded. It's one word as a noun.

• "with the back less extremely arched." backless is one word
  • No, that would be a backless dress, this means that "less" qualifies "extremely".

• In the "Beginner to intermediate" section, combine sentences into paragraphs for each form. The current spacing is unnecessary
  • Done.

• "but with only the elbows on the ground, the hands cradling the face, making it a difficult balance" change to "and the hands"
  • No, as stated the hands cradle the face, which is not on the ground.

• "In 2022, the Indian yoga teacher Yash Moradiya held the pose for 29 minutes and 4 seconds, as measured by Guinness World Records in Dubai.[22]" link Dubai and say "Dubai, UAE" or "Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Added.

• Great job!
  • Many thanks!
