B. READING (2.5 ps) 
Read the following text about doing yoga and do the tasks that follow. 
Yoga originates in India and it is good for both your body and mind. Anyone can do yoga-women or men, adults or children. Special children’s classes are devised to help them to cope with pressures they feel from their schoolwork. By learning how to co-ordinate breathing and movement, yoga helps them to develop body awareness, self-control and flexibility. Taking up yoga also helps them to focus and become better with daily routines. Start doing yoga by setting aside a regular time for it. Go slowly, listen to your body and don’t push it too far as yoga is not a competitive sport. Study each post and practice it as you control your body and mind. Prepare well before each session: avoid tight clothing and a full stomach. An ideal time to do yoga is before breakfast.
