October 10, 2008, Newsletter Issue #210: English vs Indian Names

Tip of the Week

People are often confused by the different names used in yoga.

What´s the difference between poses or postures or asanas? How is Mountain Pose different from Tadasana?

Well, there really isn´t any difference. And Mountain Pose and Tadasana are the same posture. You´ll find much of it is just preference.

Often instructors will use both the traditional Indian name as well as the more common English name to help students learn both.
