About Fitness Yoga Asana

Most people who start yoga at home get stuck on small things. Where do the hands go in cobra. Why does the lower back pinch in camel. How long should a mudra be held. Fitness Yoga Asana answers those small questions one page at a time.

What you will find here

• Asanas: one page per pose, with the Sanskrit and English names, numbered steps, beginner changes and common mistakes.
• Surya namaskar: the twelve positions, the mantras, benefits and a calorie estimator.
• Pranayama: breathing practices with a built-in breath pacer that runs in your browser.
• Mudras: exact finger positions, how long to hold them and what tradition says about them.
• Yoga for health goals: gentle routines for back pain, sleep, stress, periods and more, always with advice to check with a doctor.
