What does ASANA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A physical posture or pose held during the practice of yoga.
Each asana is meant to be held with steady, comfortable attention rather than rushed through, and traditional yoga teaching pairs the practice of asana with breathing and concentration. Well known examples include postures named after animals or objects, such as the cobra or the tree, though every asana has its own name and purpose. Yoga teachers often build a class around a sequence of asanas suited to a student's ability and goals. In English the word is now used freely in fitness and wellness contexts, not only in specifically religious or philosophical settings.
How ASANA is used
Common in yoga instruction and fitness writing; usually used alongside the specific name of the posture.
