    Designed for you to see the pose, the Sanskrit and hear the name of the pose with its English translation. It took forever to compile but I hope it is a helpful learning tool for you. I have just completed some for the more advanced postures too. Please subscribe to stay up to date.
    A few corrections: (Though different traditions & styles have different pronunciations :0)
    1.09 - anJAneyasana (JA - like jacket)
    2.51 - parsvOkonasana (O rather than A)
    3.03 - praSARita padottanasana (SAR like SARi)
    5.00 - SHalabhasana (Like SHell)

    I really like the repetition of the name of each pose you have used 3-4 times, it’s very helpful

    Thanks to India for giving the wonderful ayurveda, yoga, Pranayama and meditation (dhyanam) to the world. It has been an integral part of Indian hindu culture for thousands of years.

    Many of the Sanskrit names have deeper meanings, which enlighten us further as to the original purpose of each posture, technique, or breathing exercise.

    This is quite what I spent some time looking for: yoga poses with Sanskrit or yoga names, rather than only English translation as it is the case with some videos out there. Very informative. Thanks a lot.

    I think its important to mention that Asana actually means seat, or place where you sit. The "pose" is in a balanced position where the body should be relaxed or sitting. The Vyasasana is the seat where Vyasa or the representative of Vyasa sits. Vyasa, or Vyasadeva is the complier of the Vedanta sutras. Thank you; OM TAT SAT

    It is a good idea to share w people the sankrit names of asanas. However, there are many of them that your pronounce was very wrong. I understand that for english speakers are more dificult, but you should honour the sanskrit by pronouncing them right.

    It is not Tadasana, it is Taaaaaaaadasana, please. Please correct your pronunciation.
    Aaaaaaaaanjaneya asana (not anjaneyasana). Paaaaarsvottanasana (not parsvottanasana). Uttaaaaaanasana (not utnasana). Your are pronouncing trikanasana, it is Tri kona asana (elongate the o in kona). It is Prasarita Paaaadottanasana (not padottasana). Nata Raja Asana (not natrajasana). I can send you a cd with the correct pronunciation. There are three s's in Sanskrit, but only one s in English.

    This is a nice attempt... however most of the āsana names are not being correctly pronounced here. It is not useful to use english letters and then draw the line across the top to make it 'look" like davanāgari. I think if you are claiming expertise in something you should have that expertise. This video makes it appear that the speaker is pronouncing the words correctly, however this is not the case.
