We’ve all heard a yoga instructor babble the ancient Sanskrit names for yoga positions as if it was their first language,

Yoga Poses on yogajournal.com
but there isn’t time enough in the class itself to learn them and get them all straight. Recently, I found a great directory of Yoga Poses on the Yoga Journal website, listed by their Sanskrit and English names, and also categorized conveniently for easy searching. With this tool, you can learn some new poses before class, read about the positions and learn their purpose, and also discover the offical names for them. Soon you’ll be babbling in Sanskrit too!
