Twelve Basic Yoga Asanas

The 12 Basic Yoga Asanas form the foundation of classical Hatha Yoga practice. These postures are carefully designed to promote flexibility, strength, balance, and inner calm. Each asana works on specific parts of the body while also influencing the mind and energy system. Practicing them regularly not only improves physical health but also enhances concentration, relieves stress, and prepares the body for deeper practices like pranayama and meditation.
