Satyugasanam is comprised of three Sanscrit words ending with “m”:

sat = truth; satya yuga is the yuga (epoch) of truth at the zenith of all yugas.

yuga = one epoch within one 26ooo year cycle of  vedic cosmology.

asana = physical and mental poise, aligned and balanced to embody union

m = the unifying, inward sound, creating “nam” as final syllable.

satyugasanam sums up my search to unite and balance what once appeared to be several vocations. Now each syllable informs the whole, the asana of living content, attuning Self to highest purpose.
