You learn when you are comfortable.

The traditional number of asanas is the symbolic 84, but different texts identify different selections, sometimes listing their names (more than 800) without describing them.

Helping individuals live a stress free life through Meditation, Breathwork and Sudarshan Kriya!

Yoga asanas can be many but finding which one will help you in your daily routine is more important to be honest. Practically one can't even do all the asanas that exist daily, so better to focus on the ones that will benefit you personally

Yoga is Good for your health & your soul.

Asanas are also called yoga poses or yoga postures in English. The 10th or 11th century Goraksha Sataka and the 15th century Hatha Yoga Pradipika identify 84 asanas; the 17th century Hatha Ratnavali provides a different list of 84 asanas, describing some of them.
