Interesting yoga pose names!

Throughout my continued yoga practice, I have come across some extremely interesting things; those especially being the bizarre names of some of the yoga poses. Whilst doing routines and instructed to move into those poses, one can't help but wonder where on Earth they come from. 

Here are some of them and what the pose entails below:



Dolphin plank-
Which actually really hurts but is extremely good for working the abs, back, arms and shoulders



Pigeon pose- 
Doesn't really look anything like a pigeon but that's what it's called






Frog pose-
Actually does look like a frog, I have found is quite difficult to get into but great for opening up the hips. 

  


Cow face pose-
Doesn't actually look anything like a cow


Happy baby pose-
Actually does look kind of like a happy baby rolling around, and is a really relaxing pose
