Yoga Asana Index features most of the common yoga poses and variations;
indexed by asana name in Sanskrit and English, by category, or visually with
photos.
Please note that this is a reference resource and not a "how-to"; as such, it does
not list instructions, benefits, contraindications, and the like. Rather, it presents
pictures of the poses (in proper alignment) along with its name in Devanagari
script, standard transliteration, the English translation, and a layperson's
pronunciation guide (enhanced by an audio recording). Common alternate names
that a pose is known by are also referenced.
Yoga Index is a wonderful way to learn your poses, learn new poses, learn how to
pronounce the names of the poses, or just be inspired by the seemingly endless
variety and variation of yoga poses!
The Yoga Asana Index app is divided into 3
sections (accessed through the Home
menu):
• Pictorial Section
• Categorical Section
• Index Section
Press the respective button to access
