If there is a posture which mostly symbolises Yoga is the pādāṅguṣṭha samasthiti (standing firmly upright on the tiptoe)*
pādāṅguṣṭha = on the tiptoe; which symbolises “aplomb, self-assurance and achievement”.
sama = balance, neutral, complete, equanimity, imperturbability.
sthiti = standing firmly upright.
Samasthiti is the image of samādhi (abstract meditation).
sama = imperturbable
ādhi = thought

*Note: Don’t called it samasthitiḥ (wrong typed samasthitihi) unless is the declension for the feminine singular nominative case.
