Eight separate “limbs” together form the entire practice of yoga; asanas are only one of these limbs. In order, the eight limbs of yoga are as follows.

Yamas: Restrictions
Niyamas: Observations
Asanas: Postures
Pranayama: Breathing
Pratyahara: Detachment
Dharana: Concentration
Dhyana: Meditation
Samadhi: Unity with Brahman, the Hindu god
