Yogasana: The Encyclopedia of Yoga Poses

PACKED WITH OVER eight hundred poses performed by renowned practitioner Yogrishi Vishvketu, this encyclopedia is the most comprehensive and authoritative yoga asana guide to date. With poses adapted to every skill level, this volume is an invaluable resource for both the yoga novice and the studio owner and is a crucial addition to any yoga lover’s library.

In addition to the tremendous number of postures pictured, thorough translation charts provide pose names in Sanskrit script, transliterated Sanskrit and English.
