Asana is a Sanskrit term which is often translated as “posture” or “pose.” Asana can also be translated as “a steady, comfortable seat” particularly for the purpose of meditation. Many people equate asana with the act of performing fancy, advanced poses.

In the contemporary world where many of us are perpetually on the go, practice can slow us down and help us bridge disconnections between the body, mind, and breath.

Pose Names

Many poses have Sanskrit names and these pose names often describe the pose’s appearance.
