Asanas Asanas are yoga postures and the physical movements of yoga practice and, in combination with pranayama or breathing techniques constitute the style of yoga referred to as Hatha yoga. Traditionally asanas are positions, which make us fit and healthy in all the way. In the yoga sutra, Patanjali describes asana as a "firm, comfortable posture", referring specifically to the seated posture, most basic of all the asanas. Normally asanas will be held for an average of two or three minutes. Besides being held steadily they should also be held comfortably. No pain should be experienced while holding the posture or in the hours or days that follow. Hindu Shastras tell us of 84 lakhs asanas. A lakh being equal to 100,000, this brings the number of yoga postures to 8,400,000. lotus-icon SITTING / MEDITATIVE POSTURES Padmasana Sukhasana Vajrasana Bhadrasana Swastikasana and all sitting asana variations divider lotus-icon STANDING POSTURES Tadasana Triyaka Tadasana Kati Chakrasana Trikonasana Utkatasana Veerbadhrasana (I, II & III) and all standing asana variations divider lotus-icon BALANCING POSTURES Natrajasana Garudasana Uttitha Hasta Padangusthasana Pada Angushthasana Vriskshasana Vatayanasana Eka Padasana Eka Pada Pranamasana Baka Dhyanasana Dwi Hasta Bhujasana and all balancing asana variations divider lotus-icon INVERTED POSTURES Sirsasana Sarvangasana Padma Sarvangasana Oordhwa Padmasana Moordhasana Salamba Sirshasana Halasana Vipareeta Karani Asana and all inverted asana variations divider lotus-icon TWISTING POSTURES Ardha Matyendrasana Astavakrasana Shava Udarakarshanasana Supta Udarakarshanasana Meru Wakrasana Parivritti Janu Sirshasana and all twisting asana variations divider lotus-icon FORWARD BEND POSTURES Janu Shirshasana Paschimottasana Pada Prasar Paschimottanasana Ardha Padma Paschimottanasana Saithalyasana Padahastanasana Koormasana Supta Pawanmuktasana and all forward bend asana variationsdivider lotus-icon BACK BEND POSTURES Chakrasana Dhanurasana Bhujangasana Gomukhasana Rajkapotasana Matsyasana Supta Vajrasana Ustrasana Setuasana Vrischikasana Sarpasana Shalabhasana Kandharasana and all back bend asana variations divider lotus-icon DYNAMIC POSTURES Surya Namaskar Chandra Namaskar Pawanmuktasana Marjariasana Vyaghrasana Hanumanasana Vinyasa Flow Asanas Series and all dynamic asana variations divider lotus-icon RELAXING POSTURES Balasana Savasana Makarasana Shashankasan Supta Baddha Konasana Supta Vajrasana and all relaxing asana variations divider divider Pranayama Pranayama is a Sanskrit word meaning "extension of the praa or breath" or "extension of the life force".

Some regard meditation is the mental concentration on something; others consider that we meditate when we imagine something that gives us peace or satisfaction. All these methods are being with one goal to slow down and, eventually, completely stop the incessant activity of our minds. These exercises are not really meditation they are substitutes for meditation because it is normally very difficult to stop your mind altogether. In reality, meditation is a state of thoughtless awareness. The real meaning of meditation is transforming our mind. By engaging in a particular meditation practice you learn the patterns and habits of your mind, and the practice offers a means to cultivate new, more positive ways of being. With regular work and patience, these nourishing, focused states of mind can deepen into profoundly, peaceful and energized states of mind.

A combination of certain codified sounds is a mantra. The correct chanting of mantras under the guidance of Siddha (Guru) brings about the manifestation of thoughts & desires, and even of devs & devis. It is originated from Ved, which was written by Lord Brahma. The teachings of the Vedas consist of various mantric chants or hymns cognized by different seers or rishis from the cosmic mind.

Yet there is a multitude of philosophical ideas developed by looking into the deeper dimensions of the body, mind and spirit. Yoga is a set of spiritual practices but in itself is not an institutionalized religion, per se. Hinduism is related to yoga through a common recognition of the Vedas as an authoritative source, and both Buddhism and Jainism share many of the core values of the yoga tradition. But classical yoga is best understood as a system of spiritual practice, rather than a particular religion.
