RE: Yoga Bites- What's up with all the WARRIOR poses??

in #yoga7 years ago

Yes we enjoyed the story a lot . We have thee positions in Tang soo do (Korean traditional martial art) with different names. To be honest they may have the same explanation with yoga but I only know the Korean names and not the meaning in English.

Thank you giosou, I did a quick search and seems like Tang soo do was founded in the 1940's, so it's not surprising that some poses may be similar. A lot of poses in modern yoga come from British gymnastics and as the practice has evolved and got met by new cultures and times we see more and more poses that probably the ancient gurus never did. However all these stories come from the ancient texts and the poses get named after those.
