Yogasana

Yogasana comes from two Sanskrit words: Yoga and Asana. Asana means posture, and yoga is the way to become one with the creator. While the body can take innumerable postures, only those that help us reach the ultimate are called Yogasanas.

Yoga is not just exercise. Unlike competitive exercises, Yogasanas should be done gently and with full awareness. The practice of Yogasanas aligns your body with the cosmic structure, leading to deeper physical and mental balance.

There are 84 fundamental Asanas, though many variations now exist, with over 600 Asanas being practised. Mastering one Asana is enough to explore the essence of life and creation. We offer 21 basic Yogasanas, with some designed for beginners and others for advanced practitioners.
