Etymology/Origin of the Asana


From head to toe, the forward portion of the body is considered 'east' in Yogic sciences. Thus this Asana alludes to the front of the body being locked in for this Asana. 'Ut tana' signifies extreme stretch. As the name demonstrates, the forward portion of the body gets extended completely from the toes to the highest point of the head. Asana implies pose. Hence, the name of the Asana addresses the extending of the whole front facing side of the body.
