Overview

With photographs of over eight hundred yoga poses, including variations and modifications for different skill levels and mapped to their chakra activations, Yogāsana is the definitive yoga pose encyclopedia for new and seasoned yogis alike. Master yogi and lifelong yoga devotee Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu has created an authoritative and comprehensive encyclopedia of yoga poses in Yogāsana, making the practice, spirituality, and language of yoga more accessible than ever before. Nearly a millennium ago, the hatha yoga tradition included over seven hundred thousand yoga poses. Today, only a fraction of those are known. Dr. Vishvketu bridges that gap by connecting modern poses to their ancient roots with an intuitive naming system that fuses past with present. Sanskrit translation and pronunciation guides help practitioners gain an understanding of the relationship between the name and the spiritual significance of each pose, while the energetic essence of each asana is highlighted with chakra activation indicators for each pose. The 800 poses also appear in the proper sequence of a yoga practice, making it an excellent tool for planning a class or home practice. With poses adapted to every skill level, the encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for both the yoga novice and the studio owner.
