aw thanks so much girl for visiting my blog! :) i'm now following yours :). and wow this makes me want to do yoga again! i was so into it, very relaxing work out :).
While studying for my RYT 200, I found myself more and more confused by the ever-varying names of yoga poses. One studio calls a pose one thing, the next something different. It was the same situation online and my growing library of yoga books was no exception either.
During one of our teacher-training weekends, the idea donned on me - ONE source that covers ALL poses. Yes, there are a lot but each one has a plethora of names that only confuses the yogi that likes to bounce from style to style.
So, as I slowly add poses, I invite readers to comment and share their personal or practice's name/nickname for each. Hopefully this will become a great resource for all.

Keep up the good work. I love reading all the names you find for the poses and I find it extremely helpful!
"Jersey Girl" is another name for this pose that I heard from Seane Corn... :)
Wonder how it got the name "Jersey Girl"?
