A while ago, I think someone here asked how many

asanas exist in Yoga.<br><br>Today I finally got Lino

Miele's book "Astanga Yoga" (a handsome, thoroughly bound

hardback, not like the crumbling "Yoga Mala" paperback I've

got from Jivamukti Yoga Center a week ago, the

binding of which is of the most primitive kind I've ever

seen).<br><br> On page 4 of "Astanga Yoga" I found the following

note: <br>"There are as many 'Asanas' as there are

species in the World (The No. is roughly put at 84

Crores)."<br><br>According to my dictionary, 1 'Crore' amounts to 10

million. This would mean that there are in fact roughly

840 MILLION YOGA POSTURES!!<br><br>Well then - Have a

nice time practising them...
