Learn yoga pose names with photographs and recall practice

Common names, Sanskrit names and their spellings can be confusing at first. Connect a photograph and the movement’s distinguishing features with each name instead of repeating letters alone.

1. Begin with a few familiar poses

Choose a few familiar shapes in the catalog. Open each pose to connect its common name, plain alphabet spelling, meaning and guidance. You can search with ordinary letters without typing diacritics.

• Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
• Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I)
• Utkatasana (Chair / Fierce Pose)
• Balasana (Child's Pose)
• Savasana (Corpse Pose)

2. Compare support and direction

Warrior I, II and III share a name but differ in foot support and torso direction. Compare their photographs and guidance, then describe the difference in your own words.

• Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I)
• Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II)
• Virabhadrasana III (Warrior III)

3. Review, then practise recall

Use the app’s recall practice to connect photographs and names. Start with multiple choice, then try recalling names with the written-answer format. Read the answer explanation and review the poses highlighted in your results.

4. Keep concise, specific notes

Use personal notes in pose details for a confusing name or distinguishing feature. Notes and study records stay in this browser; use the app’s backup tools before moving devices or clearing browser data. Learning names does not require forcing your body into the pictured shape.
