Yoga
The practice of yoga often includes any number of lunge-related asanas, the names of which vary in different yoga traditions. Examples of Sanskrit names include Anjaneyasana (Anjaneya's pose), Ashwa Sanchalanasana or Aekpaadprasarnaasana (equestrian pose), Utthita Ashwa Sanchalanasana (extended equestrian pose), and Ardha Mandalasana (half circle pose). Depending on the lineage and circumstances, the back knee can be down or up, the toes may be tucked or untucked, and the arms may be in any number of positions.
Lunge variations are sometimes incorporated as part of Surya Namaskar, a flowing sequence of asanas linked by breath.
