The History & Stories behind Yoga Poses

When we step on the mat, it’s easy to think of yoga as movement — a way to stretch, strengthen, or unwind. But the truth is, every pose holds a story. A history. A piece of ancient wisdom.

In Episode 2 of Moment to Pause, I explore the mythology and meaning woven into some of yoga’s most loved postures — from the fierce Warrior (Virabhadra) to the faithful Monkey God (Hanuman), and the sacred Tree (Vriksha).

Each story reminds us that yoga isn’t only about physical form. It’s about the qualities these poses represent — courage, faith, patience, balance, devotion. When we bring those stories into our practice, yoga becomes something much deeper: a living conversation between body, mind, and heart.

So next time you move through a sequence, pause for a moment.
Ask yourself — what story am I telling through this movement?
