INTRODUCTION
In Sanskrit, the word asana translates to “seat”. Asana is the physical practice of yoga and relates to
the body. Asana is also another name for the poses or postures of yoga. “Asana” are sometimes
incorrectly used as another word for yoga, but it is indeed only one component of yoga practise. In
other words, yoga poses are used to do yoga, but the yoga poses themselves are not yoga. Asanas
are physical postures that exercise the entire body, stretch and tone the muscles and joints, the
spine and entire skeletal system. They have a beneficial effect not only on the body frame, but also
on the internal organs, glands and nerves, keeping all systems healthy. Asanas reduce stress,
enhance relaxation and revitalize body, mind and spirit.
According to the yogic scriptures there were originally 8,400,000 asanas, which are representative of
the 8,400,00 incarnations that one has to attain liberation from the birth‐death cycle. Over time,
these asanas were modified and brought down to a few hundred by Rishis and Yogis.
As per Patanjali Asana means a state of physical and mental calmness, to be steady and comfortable.
Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras says “Sthiram sukham aasanam”, meaning that yogasanas are positions
which is comfortable and steady. This is particularly important in meditation when a practitioner has
to sit comfortably in one position for a long time. This is in relation to Rajayoga, as asana here refers
to the sitting position.
HISTORY OF YOGA ASANAS
The history of Yoga Asanas can be traced from Vedic scripture to the modern period, throughout
which they underwent successive modifications. Yoga as a discipline was detailed first by Patanjali in
his Yoga Sutras. However, a physical culture existed prior to this, and Patanjali`s achievement lies in
collating all these diverse traditions.
Atharva Veda Samhita is one of the earliest text to mention yoga asanas in a specifically yogic
context. According to yoga tradition `asanas` means `to be established in a particular posture`.
There are various references in the Vedas, Brahmanas and Upanishads which indicate that the
practices must have already been in existence prior to their being noted in these texts. Meditative
postures were modified before the whole system of physical education was finally perfected by the
early Hatha Yoga practitioners.
Atharva Veda Samhita and the Patanajali Yoga Sutra mentioned asanas in general as postures
beneficial for spiritual development. Although Patanjali does not mention specific asanas, it is the
first text to identify right posture or asanas as part of Yogic practise. Indeed, Asanas in the Yoga
Sutras of Patanjali form the third limb of the eightfold Ashtanga Yoga.
Later Yoga treatises like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Yoga Upanishads provided detailed
descriptions of several specific Yoga Asanas. Modern works largely refer to these texts while
detailing Asanas.
