Learn Sanskrit Names of Basic Yoga Poses

[@mritzs5142]

I really like the repetition of the name of each pose you have used 3-4 times, it’s very helpful

[@BeingYoga]

Repetition is such a great way to learn! Hope some it has stuck for you

[@truthtruth123]

Thanks to India for giving the wonderful ayurveda, yoga, Pranayama and meditation (dhyanam) to the world. It has been an integral part of Indian hindu culture for thousands of years.

[@janeschool]

Thank you so much for this. I am currently doing the two hundred hour training. I was having such a hard time pronouncing the Sanskrit Asanas. This has been so helpful.

Thank you for shedding more light on these pose names.

[@juniorethoko8315]

This is quite what I spent some time looking for: yoga poses with Sanskrit or yoga names, rather than only English translation as it is the case with some videos out there. Very informative. Thanks a lot.

[@R33NA14]

Thanks so much for posting this! I am doing a Diploma in Yoga teaching and finding it hard to learn/pronounce the Sanskrit. You are so clear, it's a great help, thanks :)

[@mritzs5142]

[@627Debralpease]

Thanks you for the kindness in sharing your knowledge. I was able to take what I am learning in my yoga training and put it into words I can pronounce. I have longed to teach using sanskrit. Namaste!

Thanks for your kindness in posting your comment. It's great to teach in Sanskrit - it feels more authentic. Keep going, they will be fluent in no time. Namaste

[@paulineteresawhite4253]

love your style of teaching. the way you translate the Sanskrit names is awesome thank you so much .

[@BeingYoga]

So nice of you - thanks for watching!

[@jacquiconstantine2171]

Thank you Vanessa. The pronuciation of the Sanskrit names can be a little tricky. You make it clear, easy to understand and follow. I can begin to use a lot more names now in my sessions. Thank you.

[@BeingYoga]

Great to hear Jacqui. I love to use Sanskrit when teaching too. I'm so glad it was of help to you.

[@yogafitnessguru]

Many of the Sanskrit names have deeper meanings, which enlighten us further as to the original purpose of each posture, technique, or breathing exercise.

[@426john]

Very very helpful, thank you.

[@BeingYoga]

Thanks John! I've created a new one for back bends that includes a few more challenging poses. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for posting this, I am new to yoga and this is amazingly helpful than you

[@andycookin]

I think its important to mention that Asana actually means seat, or place where you sit. The "pose" is in a balanced position where the body should be relaxed or sitting. The Vyasasana is the seat where Vyasa or the representative of Vyasa sits. Vyasa, or Vyasadeva is the complier of the Vedanta sutras. Thank you; OM TAT SAT

[@BeingYoga]

Very true! A wonderful addition - thanks for adding.

[@s.b.kulkarni]

Paschimotanasana ,as our body's frontal portion is described as east and back portion as west i.e.for east in sanskrit/Marathi language it is called "Purw" and For west it is"Paschim" so tension on back i.e. west it is PaschimTanasan clubbed Paschimotanasana.

Hi Sila - I think it's a tiger pose variation perhaps VYAGHRASANA . I hope that helps!

[@vkishan2089]

Well, these pronunciations are correct for English speakers. But original pronounciation are more correct in Indian accent. Because the pauses between the pose and sana is missing.

[@sheetalarya4094]

Very nice, much wanted due to stupid names like tripod stand etc etc for yoga poses being floating around.

[@runningnat8284]

thank you!:)

[@KCnthehoop]

Thank you for this

[@BeingYoga]

Thank you!

[@uniyogadublin2292]

It is a good idea to share w people the sankrit names of asanas. However, there are many of them that your pronounce was very wrong. I understand that for english speakers are more dificult, but you should honour the sanskrit by pronouncing them right.

[@BeingYoga]

You Tube doesn't allow revisions of videos so I have had to type the corrections in the text below. Sorry you didn't see that. Best wishes

[@patrickmccartney7544]

I thought tadāsana referred to palm tree and not mountain

[@amritbaba4904]

Asan not asana. You don't pronounce the last a

[@Ramaraj2006]

It is not Tadasana, it is Taaaaaaaadasana, please. Please correct your pronunciation. Aaaaaaaaanjaneya asana (not anjaneyasana). Paaaaarsvottanasana (not parsvottanasana). Uttaaaaaanasana (not utnasana). Your are pronouncing trikanasana, it is Tri kona asana (elongate the o in kona). It is Prasarita Paaaadottanasana (not padottasana). Nata Raja Asana (not natrajasana). I can send you a cd with the correct pronunciation. There are three s's in Sanskrit, but only one s in English.

[@Nectarofyoga]

This is a nice attempt... however most of the āsana names are not being correctly pronounced here. It is not useful to use english letters and then draw the line across the top to make it 'look" like davanāgari. I think if you are claiming expertise in something you should have that expertise. This video makes it appear that the speaker is pronouncing the words correctly, however this is not the case.

[@patrickmccartney7544]

The video is ok but the pronunciation of the names is often off.
