AsanasTadasana (Mountain Pose): The Foundation of Every Standing Asana
A still, upright stance that trains posture, balance and quiet attention — the starting point of almost every standing practice.
AsanasVrikshasana (Tree Pose): Balance, Focus and Steady Nerves
Stand on one leg like a tree — rooted, tall and still. This classic balancing asana sharpens concentration and strengthens the standing leg.
AsanasPadahastasana (Hand-to-Foot Pose): A Standing Forward Fold for the Spine
Fold from the hips, let the head hang, and give the hamstrings and lower back a long, quiet stretch.
AsanasVajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose): The Sitting Asana You Can Do After Meals
A simple kneeling seat that steadies the mind and is traditionally practised after eating to support digestion.
AsanasSukhasana (Easy Pose): A Comfortable Seat for Breath and Stillness
Cross the shins, sit tall, and let the practice begin. The most welcoming seat for pranayama, chanting and short meditation.
AsanasBaddha Konasana (Bound Angle / Butterfly Pose): Open Hips, Quiet Mind
Soles of the feet together, knees dropping out — a classic hip opener that also soothes the lower back and pelvic region.
AsanasBhujangasana (Cobra Pose): A Gentle Backbend to Wake the Spine
Lift the chest like a cobra from the navel. This prone backbend strengthens the back, opens the lungs and counters long hours of sitting.
AsanasMakarasana (Crocodile Pose): Rest That Heals the Back
A prone rest pose used after backbends. The belly breathes into the floor and the lower back unclenches.
AsanasSetu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose): A Gentle Arch for Chest and Spine
Lift the pelvis into a bridge. This accessible backbend opens the chest, strengthens the legs and soothes the nervous system.
AsanasShavasana (Corpse Pose): The Art of Complete Stillness
The most important asana of the practice — lying still until the body forgets itself and the mind quiets.
AsanasBalasana (Child’s Pose): A Resting Fold Between Efforts
Kneel, fold forward, and let the back round. The pose every tired body already knows how to do.
AsanasAdho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog): The Shape of a Stretching Dog
An inverted V that lengthens the spine, opens the shoulders and stretches the hamstrings — a rest pose that is also work.
