[[File:Anantasana.png|thumb|right|''Anantasana'']]
The name '''Anantasana''' is made of two separate Sanskrit words ‘Anant’ and ‘Asana’. While Asana just means posture or exercise, Anant means endless, never ending and infinite. It can also mean a future event. In Hindu mythology, the god Vishnu has the name ‘Anant'. There are popular images of Lord Vishnu lying in a reclining pose on his side on top of a snake. This is how this yoga pose, which looks like Vishnu’s posture, has got its name.
