Asanas or Postures

Asana is the Sanskrit word for "posture". This category is divided into several subcategories that contain information and instructions about yoga postures.

Arm Support Postures star
Arm balances and inversions are effective in building strength, stamina, focus, breath support and confidence in your own ability to achieve balance, both on and off the mat.

Clearing Space for Yoga star
Explore ideas of creating the space you need to take your yoga practice to the next level.

Developing Your Drishti star
Drishti is the practice of using your sight to look inward as you practice yoga. Read on to learn how to develop your drishti and why it can strengthen your yoga practice.

How To Engage Your Bandhas star
In Yoga there are what is called the bandhas, or “energy locks”. Find out how what these locks are and how to engage them to clear your mind and fuel your body, whether you’re on the mat or in a meeting!

Kneeling Postures star
Postures that promote opening of the hip and knee joints and full extension of the spine.

Prone Postures star
Prone means "face down" and these postures originate from laying face down on the mat. Prone postures promote building strength in the muscles of the back.

Sitting Postures star
Practicing these postures will help increase your ability to sit comfortably on the floor and may contribute to a decrease in lower back pain.

Standing Postures star
These asanas begin with standing on both feet. Building a firm foundation in these asanas create a strong sense of balance and body awareness.

Supine Postures star
These postures begin in svasana, or corpse pose, giving the body a rest from the constant exertion against gravity.

The Benefits of Inversions in Yoga star
Standing on your head may be intimidating, yet there are amazing benefits waiting for you as you take on adding inversions into your practice. Be prepared to have your body thank you as you turn your world upside down!
