List of asanas

Asanas collectively constitute the physical aspect of worship in ancient Yoga and various stretches and meditative poses of modern Yoga. The poses and stretches are thought to have physical and mental health benefits and can lead to injury in roughly 1 in 20 practitioners a year in the U.S.[8] Different authors or schools of yoga may have different names for an asana. Many asanas have multiple names or one name may refer to multiplex asanas.
