Source: archive.org: Yoga Tradition of the Mysore PalaceTittīryāsana (तित्तीर्यासन) is a type of posture (āsana), according to verse 29 of the Śrītattvanidhi.—Accordingly, “Take the kākāsana position. Keep the thighs and calves together and raise the back end up. This is tittīryāsana, the red-wattled lapwing”.
The 19th-century Śrītattvanidhi is a sanskrit treatise describing 80 primary āsanas, or ‘posture’ (e.g., tittīri-āsana) and several additional ones.
This name is not found in Iyengar. The āsana form appears somewhat like gaṇḍabheruṇḍāsana.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
