Clear guidance.
Honest boundaries.
The Yoga Poses is an independent reference library within the YogaFestival.com network, created to make established yoga pose names and general practice information easier to explore.
Our purpose
We organize yoga poses by English name, Sanskrit name, experience level and pose family. Each guide offers concise steps, practical tips, modifications and cautions so readers can approach a pose with more context.
The site is educational. It does not provide personalized instruction, diagnosis or treatment, and it cannot account for an individual reader’s health, experience or circumstances.
Editorial standards
When creating and updating a pose guide, we aim to:
- Use commonly recognized English and Sanskrit pose names and note meaningful aliases where useful.
- Describe the pose in plain language without promising medical outcomes.
- Include practical modifications and prominent safety cautions.
- Separate canonical poses from preparations, transitions and minor variations.
- Use original, consistently styled instructional imagery and correct visible anatomical errors.
- Update pages when a material error or clearer explanation is identified.
Review and corrections
Editorial checks focus on naming, clarity, internal consistency, image accuracy and basic safety language. We do not represent every page as individualized instruction or as a substitute for review by a qualified yoga teacher or licensed healthcare professional.
If you find an incorrect name, unclear instruction, broken link or image problem, please send the page URL and a short explanation through our contact page. Substantive corrections are prioritized over stylistic preferences.
Our network
The Yoga Poses works alongside YogaFestival.com, a worldwide yoga festival calendar connecting the yoga community since 2011. The two sites share navigation and reader-support resources while serving different purposes.
