An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose,[1] and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali define "asana" as "[a position that] is steady and comfortable".[2] Patanjali mentions the ability to sit for extended periods as one of the eight limbs of his system.[2] Asanas are also called yoga poses or yoga postures in English.

Introduction
Tadasana is the Sanskrit name for a fundamental yoga asana, otherwise known as Mountain Pose. It is considered to be the blueprint that forms the basis of all other standing postures. Tadasana is the starting and finishing position of all Sun Salutation sequences, in addition to its use as a resting pose between other more strenuous postures. The term is derived from two Sanskrit roots; rada, meaning "mountain" and Adana meaning "seat" or "posture."
Vrikshasana (Sanskrit: वृक्षासन, romanized: vṛkṣāsana) or Tree Pose is a balancing asana. It is one of the very few standing poses in medieval hatha yoga, and remains popular in modern yoga as exercise.
Natarajasana (Sanskrit: नटराजासन, romanized: Naṭarājāsana), Lord of the Dance Pose or Dancer Pose is a standing, balancing, back-bending asana in modern yoga as exercise. It is derived from a pose in the classical Indian dance form Bharatnatyam, which is depicted in temple statues in the Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram.
