Asana

Each yoga posture or position is an asana which translated from its ancient Sanskrit means 'sitting down'. In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali defines "asana" as "to be seated in a position that is firm, but relaxed". Asanas were postures developed to help individuals sit comfortably in order to cultivate awareness, relaxation and concentration to meditate.

Yoga first originated in India. Asanas are the third of the eight limbs of classical, or Raja Yoga. They are the physical movements of yoga practice in combination with breathing techniques (pranayama).
