Asana Yoga
Sometimes people refer to ‘Asana Yoga’, which isn’t really a type of yoga. Asana is a Sanskrit word which means is ‘a posture or manner of sitting' (as in the practice of yoga).
Asanas are intended to restore and maintain well-
being and improve flexibility. Asanas are usually called yoga postures or yoga positions.
Within the context of yoga, sometimes ‘yogasana’ or ‘yoga asana’ is refered to, particularly with regard to the system of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. This is simply referring to a yoga posture. However, yogasana is also the name of a particular yoga pose that is not specifically associated with the Vinyasa system.
