We’ve all been there: the class when the teacher tells you to move into Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, and all you can think is: “what?”
Well now, thanks to the people at Drishti Yoga, there’s a new, fun way to learn all the names of yoga poses, so that you won’t have to look around the room at the other students in order to know which posture to move into next.
Drishti’s news iPhone app, Yoga Quiz Cards, combines beautiful images and both the Sanskrit and English names of 120 fundamental yoga poses to help the aspiring student (or teacher) develop their knowledge of the practice.
The app uses a customizable quiz that allows users to test their recall and also gives students the option to study at level 1 or level 2 poses. Sanskrit names are given with translations, and the app comes with a search option for quick reference.
The app is available for download through iTunes for $1.99, and those interested can also enter a quick, simple contest through YogaDork to win a free copy: just comment on the blog post, and you’re automatically entered to win!
