Each morning, Jenny begins her day by practicing yoga. Yoga is an exercise that helps Jenny to grow strong and flexible. To practice yoga, Jenny moves her arms, legs, head, and chest into different positions called poses. Jenny holds the poses while she smiles. She breathes in and out slowly through her nose.

每天清晨，珍妮都以练瑜伽开启新的一天。 瑜伽这项运动能帮珍妮变得更强壮、更灵活。 练瑜伽时，珍妮会把胳膊、腿、头和胸部摆出不同的姿势，这些姿势叫做体式。 珍妮保持体式的时候，脸上带着笑。 她用鼻子慢慢地吸气、呼气。

Jenny wakes up very early and puts on her yoga clothes. Loose or stretchy shorts and a t -shirt work well. She rolls out a long, thin piece of rubber called a sticky mat. The mat helps keep Jenny from slipping while she is moving from one pose to another.

珍妮早早醒过来，穿上她的瑜伽服。 宽松有弹性的短裤配T恤就很合适。 她铺开一块长长的薄橡胶垫，这就是防滑瑜伽垫。 换体式的时候，垫子能防止珍妮滑倒。

Jenny begins by standing very straight at the front of her mat. She places her palms together over her heart. She closes her eyes and listens to the sound of her breath. This pose is called mountain pose. Jenny stands very still for several minutes. She is practicing being as strong and quiet as a mountain.

最开始，珍妮笔直站在瑜伽垫前端。 她双手合十，放在心口位置。 她闭上眼睛，聆听自己呼吸的声音。 这个体式叫做山式。 珍妮一动不动地站了好几分钟。 她练习像大山一样强壮沉静。

Many yoga students around the world begin their day at dawn. As the sun rises, they practice the sun salutations. A salutation is a greeting or a way of saying hello. The sun salutations are a series of poses linked together. With each breath, Jenny moves from one pose to the next. To begin the sun salutation, Jenny breathes in through her nose. She reaches up, stretching her fingertips to the sky.

全世界很多瑜伽练习者都会在黎明开启一天。 太阳升起时，他们会练习拜日式。 致敬就是打招呼、问好的意思。 拜日式是一串连在一起的瑜伽体式。 每一次呼吸，珍妮就切换到下一个体式。 开始拜日式时，珍妮用鼻子吸气。 她抬起手臂，指尖伸向天空。

As she breathes out, she bends at her waist. She folds forward, reaching toward her toes. Then, breathing in, she lifts her chin. She walks her feet back as she lowers her body to the floor with her arms.

呼气的时候，她弯腰。 上半身向前折叠，指尖去够脚趾。 接着吸气，她抬起下巴。 她往后挪脚，用胳膊撑着身体落向地面。
