The poses throughout this book are identified by both their English and Sanskrit names. The English
name is a direct translation of the Sanskrit, which sometimes differs from the more common Western
name, also provided in the notes. For a literal translation of each part of the Sanskrit name, you may
consult the glossary at the back of the book. The intention is to provide you with as much information
about the name of the pose and its history as possible, so no matter what style of yoga you practice,
you will have the most complete understanding of the names of the poses.
