Yoga class: Common pose names

💬 [Connaître] is "to know" for facts, places, or people; for knowing how to do something, French usually uses [savoir]. Compare [Tu connais cette pose ?] with [Tu sais faire cette pose ?].

💬 Final [s] is silent in [les] and [noms], but [les noms] links smoothly, with the [s] of [les] sounding like [z] before the vowel in [noms]: (lay-nom).

🇫🇷 With [tu], this sounds friendly and informal, the kind of question you'd use with a classmate or someone you're already on easy terms with. In many yoga classes in France, teachers may still use [vous] to the group.

💬 [Un peu] means "a little," and you can use it on its own as a soft, natural answer. You'll hear the same pattern in [Oui, un peu] or [Je parle un peu français].

💬 French often uses [on] where English uses "we," so [On commence] is the everyday way to say "we're starting" or "let's start." You can reuse this with other verbs: [On y va], [On continue].
