Yoga asana, or yoga pose, is a key feature of modern yoga practice. Hundreds of different poses can be found on the Internet. Each school of yoga has its own favorite and new asanas are often added.
History.
Patanjali Yoga Sutra was written around 200 BC, but there is no specific yoga posture instruction. Shiva lists 84 asanas in this collection. ChandaKapali's work gherandsamhita claims that Shiva teaches 8400000 different asanas, but only provides detailed guidance for 32 different asanas. In modern times, 200 poses are listed by master Iyengar in the Light of Yoga.

Variant
When it comes to calculating the actual number of poses, the change increases the number of poses. For example, there are at least four different changes in the Saint-Gamaliki style. Similarly, the lotus can be half, whole, bundled, forward curved, or embryonic (arms through the legs, hands on the chin, buttocks balanced).
Different masters teach different styles and genres of yoga. They usually have most of the same postures, sometimes with different names, and some people say that yoga poses are infinite because people have unlimited imagination and the ability to change their bodies. There is no need to care about the number of yoga poses, how much you can practice, the reasonable use of asanas and the series of yoga poses bring benefits to the body and mind is the main thing. Isn't it?
It is said that there are eighty-four thousand yoga poses. This statement should be related to the 84000 methods of Buddhism. The Indian government has announced more than 500 yoga postures. In fact, we ordinary people only learn about 100-200 yoga, dozens of them can be practiced every day, and it is even said that as long as we adhere to the training of a few postures, we can keep healthy. For example, the classic sun worship in yoga actually consists of only seven postures, but long-term practice will be very beneficial to our body.
Why do you only know how to meditate after practicing yoga for so many years?
There is a saying between progress and retrogression that immutability is retrogression. When everything is developing, it is called retrogression if you stay where you are.
For an enterprise, the method of changing employees is very simple. If there is no change during the one-year tenure and when they first arrive, then this is the employee to be eliminated. So learning and methods are very important.
Of course, what Xiaofa is going to say today is not so serious, but the nature is the same. Beginners of yoga may only know how to meditate, but if yogis still know how to meditate after half a year, then no matter how much time you spend on yoga, it won't yield much benefit. Therefore, the method is very important, to learn to improve themselves step by step, it is necessary to master the main points of training, from simple to complex, so it is not difficult to become a yoga.
