This article is all about Finnish yoga vocabulary. You can find the names of the typical yoga poses, verbs that are typically associated with them as well as phrases a Finnish yoga instructor might say.

If you want to hear some of these phrases in an authentic context, you could also check out my article on stretching as part of a yoga routine.

Asennot – Yoga Poses and Positions in Finnish

This section contains both the official names of yoga poses and (at the bottom) more general descriptions of positions. The Finnish translations of these poses aren’t generally written with capitals at the beginning of the words. Many of them also don’t generally contain the word “pose” in Finnish.

Joogaverbejä – Finnish Yoga Verbs

The following table contains some basic Finnish yoga vocabulary verbs you will find useful during a yoga workout.

Joogafraaseja – Yoga Phrases

This section is perhaps the most useful. It contains typical phrases that could be used during a yoga session. All these phrases have the verb conjugated in the imperative form because they’re instructions. I haven’t put these sentences in an order which makes sense in one yoga routine. They’re just randomly ordered.

Note how the English translation will in some cases include the word “your”, while the Finnish yoga vocabulary doesn’t contain sinä. It’s typical for Finnish yoga descriptions to not specify whose bodyparts are moving.

That’s it for this page on Finnish yoga vocabulary. I hope this helps you a little bit when you’re trying to both stay fit and practice your Finnish! Please check out my article on stretching next!
