Setu Bandhana Asana
Yoga is a philosophy of integrating oneself with the whole universe. It teaches us to treat every entity of the universe with respect, no matter how insignificant it might appear - they are all part of one's own self. Asanas, the postures, are one of the eight limbs of Yoga. Different Asanas are dedicated and named after different things with respect, not only to humans - but even to animals, fish, insects, trees, and even to rocks and stones.
