Topic Research: Yoga

  • A good source to begin with and branch outwards from is Wikipedia, they often have footnotes and sources from where contributors got their information.
  • Yoga Sutras of Patanjali Asana is also a Wikipedia source but talks more about the poses and some of the background of them, I will also most likely try to branch out but I think this would be a good start.
  • Another good source to begin with in order to get the basic knowledge about the poses in yoga is pocketyoga.com, here they have pictures with names of the poses so even if I don't use this source I think it will be useful.
  • Here they talk about the asanas and how they got their names, I think reading up on the mythology of it will help to build and create my stories


  • One story that I will most likely talk about deals with the warrior poses since this is often used in everyday practices. I think that knowing the history and story behind it will be good knowledge for my story telling as well as my own personal practice
  • Another pose that I'm interested in learning about (but can't do yet) is the monkey pose. Reading a bit on it peeked my interest so I am looking forward to it.
  • Another potential pose and story is the corpse pose or Savasana which is probably one of the hardest ones.
