An Anatomical Exploration of Garudasana

Abstract

The term Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke, to direct and concentrate ones attention on, to use and apply. It also means union or communion. It is the true union of our will with the will of God. Yoga is performed through some specific postures called Asana. Among the eight limbs of Yoga, the Yogic technique properly begins at the third limb that is the Asana. Asana means a state in which one can remain physically and mentally steady, calm, quiet and comfortable. Patanjali defines Asana as‘Sthirasukhatvam” in Yogasutra which can be translated as Stable and pleasurable state of body is called Asana.“Garudasana” was described as one of the 32 most important Asana in GherandaSamhita. The word Garuda means an eagle. It is also name of the king of birds. Garuda portrayed as the vehicle of Vishnu and as having a white face, an aquiline beak, red wings and a golden body.
