Here I might want to put the conventional view on characterization of Yoga Postures, where there are just 3 classifications as beneath:

Social Postures

Stances for Relaxation

Thoughtful Postures.

Social POSTURES: All yoga poses that assistance to extend the body from different bearings/edges are known as social stances. By enacting particular muscles, tendon, ligaments and nerves, the reason for social stances is to discharge strain from every last piece of our body. The impacts of social stances are not restricted to the muscles and joints, but rather they likewise empower our inner organs and causes us managed the elements of our inward organs. Therefore we don't just pick up suppleness and quality in our body, yet additionally get improved physical prosperity and an incredible feeling of control.

All sort of forward twist, in reverse curve, bending, adjusting, reversal, and augmentations are Cultural stances. For instance: Pachimottasana (situated forward curve), Bhunjasana (cobra posture), dhanurasana (bow posture), vrikshasana (tree posture), Ardhya-matysendrasana (Seated bending), Shirshasana (Headstand) and so on are social stances.

Stances FOR RELAXATION: The reason for these stances is to give rest to the body in the middle of or/and after the act of social stances. Customarily there are just 2 stances for unwinding: SHAVASANA (The Corpse Pose) and MAKARASANA (Crocodile Posture).

Thoughtful POSTURES: The reason for CULTURAL POSTURES and POSTURES FOR RELAXATION is to set up the body for reflective stance. Thoughtful stances give great soundness and solace to the body so as to sit longer with no physical diversions amid reflection. We should not overlook that physical dependability and solace, both are integral to each other. Solidness in the reflective stances brings extraordinary solace and the other way around. Thoughtful stances holds the back straight by keeping up the regular curves of spine. By holding the back straight, we enable our stomach to move openly and in this manner there is no blockage in the vitality stream amid reflection. One can pick an agreeable thoughtful stance for contemplation, which permits appropriate blood stream towards bring down half body.
