Why this library is written the way it is
Search for any asana and you will get pages telling you it cures thyroid disorders, controls diabetes and detoxifies the liver. None of that is true in the way it is written, none of it is sourced, and all of it is the reason yoga content ranks badly with anyone who checks. This site does not do it.
What every page here says instead is what the movement does — which muscles lengthen, which work, which joint goes through what range. That is checkable, it is useful, and it is the only claim a page that has never met you is entitled to make. The build itself enforces this: a benefit sentence containing a disease name or a treatment word fails the build and the page does not ship.
The second difference is the cautions. On most yoga sites contraindications are a grey footnote; here they are the loudest block on the page, they are specific to the pose, and they name the actual condition — pregnancy, glaucoma, uncontrolled blood pressure, a cervical spine injury. Yoga is safe for most people most of the time, which is exactly why the exceptions need to be legible rather than buried.
And the calorie figures are honest about their limits. Nobody has measured a single asana in a lab, so this site never publishes a per-pose calorie number — it maps each pose to the nearest published style code in the 2024 Adult Compendium of Physical Activities and says which code it used. The method page shows all of it.
