Asana - Pronounced AH-sah-nah, these are the yoga postures and are the third stage of yoga.

Chakra - The 7 centers of radiating life force energy (prana) located from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.

Guru - A spiritual mentor or advisor who illuminates the darkness that may cover spirituality.

Karma - The concept of action which causes the concept of cause and effect. All that we think, speak and do creates our karmic path.
