Best Yoga Poses on International Yoga Day 2025 for Each Zodiac Sign: Here They Are!
Yoga is not only about the physical body. Our body is divided into the mental body and the physical body. Yoga is a practice that strengthens our physical body, with a primary focus on muscular growth.
But Yoga is also a practice that benefits the mind, body, and soul. The different styles of Yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. It helps to improve our overall well-being and happiness.
So, we've tried to create a list of yoga postures that can help you achieve overall well-being based on your zodiac signs. Check it out to make the most of the International Yoga Day in 2025:
Aries: Navasana (Boat Pose)
Aries is a fire sign, and therefore, they are considered to be a fireball of energy, physical, emotional, and sexual. This energy can sometimes be extremely overwhelming. The Navasana or Boat Pose impacts the Solar Plexus and can match the level of intensity of your sign.
It also strengthens the core, which will help you balance your fiery energy with charm and grace on this International Yoga Day.
Taurus: Vriksasana (Tree Pose)
The zodiac sign of Taurus is an earth element. Due to this, these individuals need a lot of grounding and healing. The Vrikshasana or Tree Pose is a yoga posture that is meant to inspire patience.
It also gives an overall sense of balance and fortitude. Thus, the Vrikshasana posture is ideal as it will help you feel rooted, comforted, and relaxed on this Yoga day.
Gemini: Garudasana (Eagle Pose)
Geminis are the air element. They are known to possess a unique ability to jump between social circles, exciting experiences, and they are full of curiosity. The Garudasana, or Eagle Pose, is known to help hold one's interest while offering the benefits of stability during the Yoga day celebration.

We know that Cancerians are associated with the water element, and they are known for their need for personal space. The Balasana, also known as Child's Pose, can help you relax as it is both soothing and comforting on this Yoga Day.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed during the day due to the pressures of everyday life, it's best to practice this yoga posture to calm yourself down and welcome peace and serenity into your life.
Leo: Salamba Bhujangasana (Sphinx Pose)
The king of the zodiac group, Leos, is a Fire Element. This is why they are full of energy and passion. You are larger than life; however, a simple backbend is an ideal pose to help you restore your energies. It is also great to practice Simha Mudra, also known as Lion's Breath, on Yoga Day.
The Sphinx pose offers relaxation to the lumbar spine and reproductive organs (the creative center of the body). At the same time, it opens up the heart (the intention center) to lead with love, just like a true Leo would.
Virgo: Utkata Konasana (Goddess Pose)
The Virgos are an Earth Element. It is for this reason that they are so detail-oriented and are known to vibe with nature. This is why a Goddess pose helps you to stay grounded, patient, loving, and powerful on Yoga day.
It will also help you to stay responsible and be meticulously attentive to others without draining yourself.
Libra: Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)
The Libra sign is an air element. This sign is the king of balance. By doing the Half Moon pose or the Ardha Chandrasana, you can use your balancing powers to offset all the things that are beyond your control. All balancing poses are perfect for Libras on Happy Yoga Day.
But the Half Moon pose is more effective because it is gravity-defying and helps you expand in every direction while opening your heart.
Scorpio: Shalabhasana (Locust Pose)
The Scorpio sign flows deep with emotional intensity. As a water sign, you're often calm on the outside but fiercely focused and powerful within. That’s where Shalabhasana, or the Locust Pose, comes in; it’s the perfect match for your inner strength.
This dynamic backbend works your spine, core, pelvic floor, and legs, activating almost every muscle in your body. On this International Yoga Day, let the Locust Pose help you rise with quiet power and resilience, just like a true Scorpio.
Sagittarius: Viparita Virabhadrasana II (Reverse Warrior II)
The Sagittarius sign is a fire element. Known as the archer, this sign looks like it is aiming its arrow towards hopes, dreams, joy, optimism, and devotion. Hence, the Reverse Warrior is the perfect pose for your sign on this International Yoga Day.
The benefits of the Warrior Pose are its grounding effects and focus, which is exactly what you need to keep your eyes on your goals.
Capricorn: Tadasana (Mountain Pose)
The Capricorn zodiac sign is an earth element. You draw your energy from nature, but you can easily burn out if you do not commit to a steady pace. The Mountain Pose may seem quite simple; however, in reality, it is indeed complex, as it serves as the foundation for every other yoga pose.
On National Yoga Day, practicing to hold a strong Mountain Pose on a regular basis can help you establish a sense of grounding and fortitude.
Aquarius: Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward-Facing Wheel)
The Aquarius sign is an air element, and they are the most ingenious, inspirational, and imaginative people among all the zodiac signs. You are always eager to create a new design, solution, or even a revolution.
So, on the International Yoga Day, the Upward-Facing Wheel pose is perfect for you. It is a heart-opening, energizing pose that will give you the boost you need to keep dreaming, inspiring, and creating a better world.
Pisces: Matsyasana (Fish Pose)
The Pisces sign is a water element. Its symbol is depicted by two fishes swimming in opposite directions, blending the spiritual and the material worlds into one. The Fish pose is the most natural choice for your spiritual sign during the Yoga Day celebration.
The feelings of this sign are so deep and intense that the Fish Pose will help open your heart and throat, the spaces of intention and truth, and it will also help balance those emotions physically.
