This week in Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, Asana is the Sanskrit word for "seat" which points to the original use of the term to describe seated poses for meditation. What better pose represents this than the lotus pose or Padmasana. This week the practice in the school incorporates this quintessential pose in our Basic, Essential and Intermediate class offerings.
