Practitioners around the world reap the physical benefits of yoga, assuming poses and frequently calling them by their sanskrit names. While many
know that Hanumanasana is named after the deity Hanuman, few understand why this is the case. Behind each asana and its corresponding movements
is an ancient story about a god , sage, or sacred animal , much like Aesop's fables or European folktales. Myths of the Asanas is an unprecedented
retelling of these ancient stories .
The myths behind yoga's spiritual tradition have the power to help students of all levels realise their full potential. Meditating on the tolerance of
trees while standing in tree pose can help one become more tolerant. Learning how the disfigured sage astavarka came to bo the teacher of a king
can liberate us from anxities about our external appearence and our self - imposed limitations.
