Āsanas (Poses)

The literal translation of word Āsana means posture. According to Yoga Shastras there are approx. 840,000 poses, out of which 84 are considered to be of great importance. 

Broadly Āsanas are divided into: Meditative Āsana and Cultural Āsana (The Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga by Swami Vishu-devananda).  

Cultural Āsanas

Gaining mastery over the physical body is a fundamental aspect of Hatha yoga. Proper postures are an essential requirement for the effective practice of yoga. The Āsanas yield the best outcomes when one maintains the body in the posture for the longest possible duration.
