    A yoga pose, or asana, is a posture that was designed to target certain areas of the body so as to strengthen, open and create space in that area. Asana translates as “To Sit” in Sanskrit. The first asana was the meditation seat. We practice most asanas, postures, to get to a point by which we can sit at length breathing, meditating and stilling the mind.
