List of asanas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 31.215.192.57 (talk) at 14:45, 13 September 2017 (Whatever this fellow meant, citation needed). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Asanas are thought to have physical health benefits and can lead to injury in roughly 1 in 20 practitioners a year in the U.S.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Different authors or schools of yoga may have different names for an asana. Many asanas have multiple names or one name may refer to multiple asanas.[9] Some aasanas are a part of Hatha Yoga, but are not mentioned in Hindu Shastras, Vedas, and Puranas or by yogi Gurus, like the Virbhadra Chaturanga Danda Aasna.[citation needed]
