Asana


Asanas can be described as the third one in the eight limbs of Yoga. Asana, which literally means staying or abiding, is basically a specific body position, attained by following certain steps. It is through asanas only that a human being achieves the unity of body and mind, which is the essence of yoga. Yogic asanas, commonly known as postures or posse in the west, are created for the purpose of improving the overall health and well-being of a person.

When a person is performing an asana, there is a corresponding balance between his movements and stillness. Patanjali, in his famous Yoga Sutra, says that each posture of yoga reflects a mental attitude, whether that attitude is one of surrender to the Almighty, strengthening of the will or creation of a physical prayer with the body. Through the performance and practice of different asanas, we revitalize as well as invigorate our body, mind and soul. Most of the persons don't know what is exactly asana, Patanjali explained in a very good way....

                                                "Sthirasukhamaasanam"

This sutra means that the Asana should be steady and comfortable, patanjali mention in next sutra that maybe there is some effort while beginning of the asana, but the end is with full of joy, and real happiness. Asana is not only just a physical practice, like most of the people practicing these days, Asana is more related with feeling, have to feel the relaxation in each and every asana, need steadyness, and ultimate peace. With regular practice one can achieve these.
