Introduction to the Sanskrit names of Asanas
According to legend, yoga postures or āsanas originated from Lord Śiva. Many āsanas are representative of living creatures like a fish (Matsyāsana) or a snake (Bhujaṅgāsana). There are those that are derived from nature, like the moon (Candrāsana) or a tree (Vṛkṣāsana). Some others are named after powerful mythological figures such as Virabhadrāsana and Hanumanāsana. Each name is significant especially in its original language, making it important to learn and pronounce correctly. Join Chitra Ganesh and discover the intricate Sanskrit names of asanas, learn their pronunciations, and the captivating stories that lie within.

Yoga was traditionally passed down orally from guru to student for centuries. The Sanskrit language is a part of this ancient tradition, connecting modern yoga teachers to their historical counterparts. By using Sanskrit, instructors pay homage to the yogic heritage.
Sanskrit serves as the ultimate bridge between individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The charm lies in its ability to serve as a common denominator for everyone. This beautiful language establishes a profound spiritual connection, transcending linguistic barriers.
Chanting the name of an āsana in Sanskrit creates vibrations that help align the practitioner with the source of energy, building a connection between teacher and student.
