Yoga Poses with Pictures and Names

The catalog holds 182 hatha yoga asanas, each with a photo and both its English and Sanskrit name. The poses fall into 11 groups, from warm-up and standing poses to inversions and resting poses. Every asana card covers how to come into and out of the pose, its benefits and its contraindications.

Each pose also carries a level: 76 for beginners, 73 intermediate and 33 advanced. If you're new to yoga, switch on the Beginner filter and start with foundational poses such as Downward-Facing Dog and Child's Pose. The muscle filter helps you find poses for your back, legs, shoulders or core. Before you try unfamiliar poses, read up on practicing safely.
