Asanas
postures

A catalog of cross referenced asanas.

The earliest acknowledged texts of yoga list only a handful of asanas, with the numbers increasing with time; the Hatha Yoga Pradipika lists 32 asanas. Expert consensus states that classical asanas can be condensed down to a total of 84 poses; when counted with variations, they number 8.4 million.

Categorised here are all the asanas, from traditional and popular schools of yoga, most commonly practised in the 21st century. Since most asanas can be classified in multpile categories (standing twist, seated twist, seated mountain, standing mountain etc.), each one is listed under all the applicable categories, yet link to the same asana details.
