There are four categories of posture names: postures dedicated to lifeless forms, postures representing animals, postures representing human forms, and postures representing divine forms. Each category has its own unique gunic makeup, as explained below. Postures of the Primary Series tend to represent tamas guna (mass particle), those of the Intermediate Series are generally an expression of rajas guna (energy particle), and Advanced Series postures appear to be permeated by sattva guna (intelligence particle).
