Sanskrit Names: Asana & Mudras
Sanskrit yoga words, spoken
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find any asana or mudra by its Sanskrit name. Hear the pronunciation, read the Devanagari. A small, calm tool for getting the words right.
You know the pose. You just want the word.
Sanskrit Names is a calm, offline reference for the language of yoga. Type a common name you already know, in plain English, and it gives you back the real thing: the Sanskrit term, the Devanagari script, an honest phonetic spelling, a one line note on where the word comes from and what it means, and a spoken clip so you can hear it said the right way.
Type "crocodile pose" and find Makarasana. Type "prayer hands" and find Anjali Mudra. Type "triangle," or the Sanskrit, or just how you think it sounds. The search meets you wherever you start.
Inside, fully offline and free:
- 399 terms across the whole vocabulary of practice: poses (asana), hand gestures (mudra), breath practices (pranayama), energy centers (chakra), locks (bandha), and gaze points (drishti)
- 390 spoken pronunciation clips, recorded so the sounds land gently and clearly
- Devanagari script for most terms, set the way the tradition writes it
- A short, plain etymology for nearly every word, so the meaning sticks
- Thousands of names and spellings indexed, so the term you reach for is the term you find
No account. No sign in. Nothing to set up. It works on a plane, in a quiet studio, anywhere, because everything lives on your device. Free, with no paywall on any of it.
This is a reference, not a quiz and not a game. There is no streak to keep and no score to chase. Open it the moment you need a word, find it, and close it again.
The word was always there. This is the app that hands it to you.

The keyboard knows when to leave now. After you search, tap Done above the keys, swipe down over the results, or press the search key, and it tucks itself away so you can read in peace. A few quiet fixes beneath the surface, too.
