8,400,000 of course. The Lord Shiva said so -

weren't you paying attention? Although it's sometimes

mis-quoted as 84,000 so it would be understandable if you

mistakenly thought that was the answer.<br><br>"There are

eighty-four hundreds of thousands of Asanas described by

Shiva. The postures are as many in number as there are

numbers of species of living creatures in this universe.

Among them eighty-four are the best; and among these

eighty-four, thirty-two have been found useful for mankind in

this world"<br>(Gheranda-Samhita 2.1-2)<br><br>Or did

you mean in the ashtanga vinyasa yoga system as

taught by Sri K. Patthabi Jois? Couple of hundred then,

probably. Don't worry, I have no doubt that the thirty-two

that are useful in this world make up the bulk of the

primary series.

.... and there are 200 in Light On Yoga, but we don't talk about that here and

besides, our 200 are better than their 200 (apart from being mostly identical)
