Ever walked into a class and been told to get into Camatkarasana? Or to finish off the class in Salambha Sarvangasana. The language of yoga is Sanskrit. And like Latin, most of us don't know how to read, write, or speak Sanskrit.
This video is designed to breakdown the Sanskrit names of the poses that you come across most often in yoga classes.
I know that there are a lot more poses than the ones I've listed here, and I will be happy to do a follow-up video. If you like this video, and have suggestions for other poses that should be included in the next one, please leave a comment below !

Sir, your video is excellent. I just wanted to suggest a minor correction. Actually 'Baka' means 'Crane/Heron' so, 'Bakasana' would mean 'Crane Pose'. 'Kaka' means 'Crow', so 'Crow Pose' is actually 'Kakasana'.

@@mah-007 sir, 'Mal' actually comes in hindi from Sanskrit only. And the Asana is written in devanagari script as 'मलासन' and not as 'मालासन'. Devanagari script is used in writing both Hindi and Sanskrit languages. Also the Asana does not resemble a garland in any way. The Asana is simply a squatting posture. Since back in those days all people used this posture to excrete feces, this Asana came to be known as मलासन (malasana).

I would like to add that asana actually means a place where you sit, such as Vyasasana. The chair where Vyasa or one who speaks Vyasa's, ( Vyasadeva, the compiler of Vedanta) philosophy. The "pose" is actually a position in which the body is balanced and "sitting" in a relaxed fashion. Asana= place where you sit. Thank you.
@TheKaizenProjekt

copy that - thanks !
It is not /asan/ in sanskrit. It is /āsana/. In hindi the inherent vowel is dropped and that is why people say /āsan/. The [ā] is a locative affix. It denotes the place at, in, or upon which something occurs or exists. It is the same [ā] as in /āśrama/, which means the place of śrama (effort). In dhanurāsana the word is parsed danuH + āsana. When the final sibilant (h) meets a vowel it changes to [r] due to rules of sandhi. Anyways, for an intro video these technicalities are overwhelming, but are worth keeping in mind.

The Best way to see these asanas origin is to find the etymology of the asana name... Etymology if properly seen will always end in Tamil language... Most Indians know this, I am typing here so other nationals also knows history and its origin....

I'm sure there is overlap as Tamil/Sanskrit are both ancient languages. But I think using words like 'best' and 'always' makes a statement sound dogmatic, and thus weakens the argument.
Music is too loud which makes it hard to hear whta the speaker is saying.

It’s not Yoga, it’s Oha (oham); In Sanskrit there is no alphabet that sounds as OOh, that’s why they write oohm as uum (ॐ) but in Tamil alphabet ‘ஓ’ exists that’s why ohm is written as ௐ which confirms ohm comes from Tamil, everything around the word “Ohm” or ௐ is from Tamil language only and its culture. And it confirms Sanskrit is a foreign language to Indian subcontinent.

The Om sound is a vikruti. Actually ॐ is a compound sound (see I am saying sound, not letter or alphabet). It is a combination of a(अ), oo (ऊ), and makaar (म). The formula for ॐ is अकार चरण कमल, ऊकार ऊदर विशाल मकार महामंगल, मस्तक अकारे Which also tells the actual pronunciation. अकार resonates around and below that naval, ऊकार above the naval and in the chest and makaar in the head. Forming vikruti is a common process in Vedic chanting and there are several other vikruti. Infact, a lot can be said about the structure of syllable ॐ and it's philosophical and meta physical connotation but you can easily find that on the net if you keep you silly emotional biases aside.
