The Myths Behind the Poses

Every yoga posture carries a story. Behind the names of the asanas lies a rich landscape of mythology, symbolism, ancient sages, and archetypal teachings from the yogic tradition.

In this five-class series, we explore the origins and meanings behind key yoga postures, uncovering the myths, deities, and stories that shaped them. From the Hindu pantheon to ancient seers, each class brings context and depth to the physical practice of yoga.

This is an invitation to move beyond form and into understanding — so that your practice becomes not only physical, but also meaningful and rooted in tradition.

Across the five classes, expect:

•  Exploration of key yoga asanas and their mythological origins
•  Stories from the Hindu pantheon and yogic tradition
•  A deeper understanding of why poses are named as they are
•  Asana practice woven with storytelling and philosophy
•  Context for bringing meaning into your physical practice

This course is for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of yoga beyond alignment — into story, symbolism and tradition.
