Asana Journal is the only international yoga magazine published from India, both in English and Tamil, focusing on modern yoga, naturopathy and wellbeing.
Origin
Asana is the Sanskrit word for posture or seat. It is one of the eight limbs of Yoga.
History and development
The monthly Asana International Yoga Journal was started in 1999 by Asana Andiappan.[1]
The magazine is published by Asana Publication which is managed by Asana Andiappan Yoga & Natural Living Development Trust. Andiappan's objective is to create an international journal that provides the Yoga community with "references of therapeutic experience in Yogasana, and Naturopathy".
As yoga's popularity grew, particularly in Asia, the demand for an international journal with the Indian Yoga heritage arose. The magazine has been published in English since January 2003.
Asana publishes articles on Yoga, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Siddha, etc. It has become a part of reference journals for many Yoga and Naturopathy related courses in India.
