Yoga Asanas

 

There is no strict order to perform Yoga Asanas.  Usually, forward bending Asanas followed by backward bending Asanas gives you complete benefit.  We will follow a routine pattern so we will remember all the Asanas.  We will start with standing followed by sitting and then lying down poses.
