PRESENTING PPT OF YOGASANA
INTRODUCTION OF YOGA:-
• Yoga is a group of physical, mental and spiritual practices or disciplines
that originated in ancient India, aimed at controlling and stilling the
mind, and recognizing the detached ‘witness-consciousness’ as
untouched by the activities of the mind and mundane suffering.
• It brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve a peaceful
body and mind; it helps manage stress and anxiety and keeps you
relaxing. It also helps in increasing flexibility, muscle strength and body
tone. It improves respiration, energy and vitality. ... Yoga asanas build
strength, flexibility and confidence.
STANDING
ASANAS
UTTANASANA
Uttanasana is a standing forward fold, which is
considered very good for relieving stress and
soothing the nervous system. It forms part of the
Surya Namaskar sequences. Its name comes from
the Sanskrit uttana, which means "intense
stretch" and asana, which means "a seat" or
"posture.
Or a yoga pose, uttanasana is relatively new.
It is first found documented in Mysore, India,
in the 19th century within a Hindu text
titled Shri Tattva Nidhi, but is not mentioned
in the classic texts of yoga.
ANUVITTASANA
Anuvittasana or Hasta Uttanasana
(Standing Back Bend), has the arms
raised and the back arched. An extreme
form of the pose is Tiryang
Mukhottanasana, in which the back bend
is sufficient to enable the hands to grasp
the ankles. Some reclining asanas such as
Supta Tadasana (Reclined Mountain Pose)
stem from Tadasana.
KATI CHAKRASANA
Kati chakrasana is a simple standing pose with a
spinal twist. The name comes from the Sanskrit
kati, meaning “waist”; chakra, meaning “wheel” or
“circular rotation”; and asana, which means
“pose” or “posture.”
Begin in a standing position with the feet apart.
The arms extend in front with the palms facing and
thumbs toward the sky. The body then twists to
one side with the arm leading the twist wrapping
around the back to rest on the opposite hip. The
other arm crosses the chest so the hand rests on
TADASANA
Tadasana is the Sanskrit name for a
fundamental yoga asana, otherwise known
as Mountain Pose. It is considered to be the
blueprint that forms the basis of all other
standing postures. 
Tadasana is the starting and finishing
position of all Sun Salutation sequences, in
addition to its use as a resting pose between
other more strenuous postures. The term is
derived from two Sanskrit roots; tada,
meaning "mountain" and asana meaning
•SITTING
ASANAS
PASCHIMOTTASANA
• Paschimottanasana is derived from the Sanskrit
words ‘Paschima’ meaning ‘posterior’, ‘back’ or
‘behind’; ‘Uttana’ referring to stretching out’
and ‘Asana’, of course, connoting ‘Posture’.
Therefore ‘Paschimottana’ basically means
stretching out the posterior portions of your
body.
USTRASANA
Ustrasana is a deep backward bend from a kneeling
position; the completed pose has the hands on the
heels. The backs of the feet may be flat on the floor, or
the toes may be tucked under for a slightly less strong
backbend.
The pose is one of the 26 asanas in the Bikram Yoga
 sequence
The name Ardha Ustrasana, Half Camel pose, is given
to two different poses. One has the hands on the hips
 the other has one hand on the heel on the same side,
as in the full pose, and the other arm stretched back
over the head
 Ardha Matsyendrasana
Matsyendrasana, Matsyendra's Pose or Lord of the
Fishes Pose, is a seated twisting asana in hatha yoga
and modern yoga as exercise. The full form is the
difficult Paripurna Matsyendrasana. A common and
easier variant is Ardha Matsyendrasana. The asana
usually appears as a seated spinal twist with many
variations, and in its half form is one of the twelve basic
asanas in many systems of hatha yoga.
Baddha Konasana
Baddha Konasana, Bound Angle Pose, Butterfly Pose, or
Cobbler's Pose, and historically called Bhadrasana, Throne
Pose, is a seated asana in hatha yoga and modern yoga as
exercise. If the knees rest on the floor, it is suitable as a
meditation seat. The pose strongly opens hip and groin,
and is one of the few yoga asanas that can be
practiced comfortably soon after eating, except for the
forward-bending variation with the head on the floor. It
is claimed in Light on Yoga, citing Grantly Dick
Reed's Childbirth Without Fear, that the pose is 
beneficial to pregnant women, as regular practice
reduces pain during delivery. If there is a groin or knee
injury, the knees must be supported on folded
blankets.
•LYING ASANAS
UTTANAPADASANA
Raised legs yoga pose or Uttanpadasana is a one
of the important supine position yoga and
extremely beneficial for lower belly fat and flat
stomach. The raised feet yoga is quite popular
who is eager to weight loss or burning belly fat. It
is also one of the important yoga poses in power
yoga exercises. The meaning of ‘ut’ is to lift, ‘tan’
is to stretch and ‘pad’ is leg. This pose involves
raising the legs and is used as an exercise to
reduce and tone the belly. Uttanpadasana also
goes by the name of Raised Feet Pose. It is also
sometimes called Dwipadasana as ‘dwi’ means
two and ‘pada’ means legs. 
 BHUJANGASANA
Bhujangasana is a gentle backbend practiced
from a face-down position that warms and
strengthens the spine while opening the chest.
The term comes from the Sanskrit bhujanga,
meaning “serpent” or “snake,” and asana,
meaning “posture” or “seat.”
If this pose causes any strain in the lower
back, the elbows can remain bent in a
modification known as Baby Cobra.
Alternatively, the forearms may remain on
the mat with palms facing down
for salamba bhujangasana (Sphinx Pose), a
 ANANTASANA
Anantasana is entered from a lying position.
The head is supported with one hand, the
upper arm on the ground on that side; the
other hand and leg are stretched straight up,
the fingers grasping the big toe of the raised
foot. The supporting arm, body, and lower leg
are in a straight line.
The name comes from the Sanskrit words 
anantā (अनन्त) meaning "without end" or "the
infinite one", for the thousand-headed serpent 
Shesha upon which Vishnu rested at the
bottom of the primordial ocean, and āsana
 (आसन) meaning "posture" or "seat"
 PARIPURNA NAVASANA
Paripurna Navasana (Complete Boat
Pose) name comes from the Sanskrit
words 'Paripurna’ meaning ‘entire or full’,
and ‘Nava’ meaning ‘boat’. The body in
this pose resembles a boat and hence the
name. The body in this pose is entirely
balanced on the sit bone or the buttocks.
The body also looks like the letter ‘V’,
while seated on the sit bones.
