How to pronounce Sanskrit names of Asanas
I have put together a resource page on my website where for many of the asanas (physical postures) that are commonly practiced, I have provided the following information:
- Picture of the asana
- Name in both English and Sanskrit
- Name written in Devanagari (Sanskrit) script
- An audio recording of the name in perfectly accurate Sanskrit
I certainly hope that you will find this resource valuable to you. I would love to get your feedback. If there are other asanas that you would like me to include on the page, please do let me know.
