Yoga pose library — 60+ asanas with Sanskrit + Chinese + English names, benefits, contraindications, modifications.
A practitioner-grade yoga pose library — 63 standard asanas drawn from the Iyengar "Light on Yoga" canon, Ashtanga primary series, and classical Hatha tradition. Each pose carries its Sanskrit, Chinese and English names side by side, a 1–5 difficulty rating, the traditional benefits (flexibility, strength, balance, relaxation), the documented contraindications (pregnancy, hypertension, low back injury, knee injury, glaucoma, menstruation), prop and modification suggestions (block, strap, wall, bolster) and a recommended hold time. Filter by 10 categories — standing, seated, supine, prone, inversion, arm balance, twist, backbend, forward bend, restorative — cap by difficulty, search by name or condition, save favorites locally. No invented poses. No "wellness influencer" claims. Free, ad-free in the pose view, 100% client-side.

You walk into a drop-in class abroad and the teacher calls "Utthita Trikonasana" with no English. Search that name here, confirm it is Extended Triangle at difficulty 2, glance at the alignment note and the block modification, and you are in the pose before the next cue. The three-language entry turns an intimidating unfamiliar studio into a class you can actually follow.
You have stage-1 hypertension and a tweaky lower back. Before building a morning flow, filter out anything flagged for hypertension or lumbar disc, then cap difficulty at 3. What remains, roughly 28 poses, is your safe pool. Pull six from it, note the hold times, and you have a sequence that respects your body instead of a generic YouTube routine that ignores it.
You are teaching a hip-opener class and need a one-page handout. Filter to seated and standing categories, pick eight poses from Baddha Konasana to Virabhadrasana II, and copy the Sanskrit, English, benefits and prop notes into your sheet. Ten minutes instead of an hour cross-checking your old Light on Yoga paperback, with the contraindications already attached.
Your practice buddy insists "Pigeon" and "King Pigeon" are the same pose. Search both: Eka Pada Rajakapotasana sits at difficulty 4 while the prep version is a 3, different entry, different knee load. The library settles it in seconds, and you both learn which one your knees are actually ready for before someone forces a deep backbend.
Chasing the photogenic difficulty-5 poses first. Headstand and Eka Pada Koundinyasana look great on a feed, but cervical and wrist injuries come from skipping the difficulty-2 foundation. Spend a month at the slider on 2 before you touch anything above 3.
Ignoring the contraindication tags because you feel fine today. The pregnancy and glaucoma flags exist for invisible risks, not how your warmup felt. If a pose is flagged for your condition, swap it for a same-category alternative rather than testing your luck.
Treating the hold time as a target to beat. The recommended hold is a ceiling for safe practice, not a personal record. Forcing 90 seconds in a pigeon your hips reject is exactly how the most common chronic yoga knee injury starts.
Everything runs in your browser. Your favorites, difficulty cap, and last filter are stored only in this device's localStorage, never sent to any server. Filter and search selections (category, difficulty, query) are written into the URL so you can bookmark or share a filtered view, but those values are non-sensitive pose names. No account, no health profile, no tracking of which contraindications you filtered by.
