Starting a yoga practice means getting comfortable with terms like asanas—the physical postures that form its foundation.
Asanas are the key poses in hatha yoga. Holding them builds flexibility, balance, and endurance while promoting deep relaxation. They help release muscles tensed throughout the day, stretch tight areas to ease built-up stress, and strengthen the mind-body connection. With consistent practice, poses become more sustainable, paving the way for meditation during holds. Learn more about asanas.
