Yogic postures or Asanas are one of the most important
systems of physical culture ever invented. They reflect an
amazing understanding of how the body works and,
particularly, how to release tension at a deep level from
the tissues, organs and joints.
Asana is the third step in the Ashtanga Yoga. In
the Yoga sutras, Patanjali, concisely defined Yogasanas as
“Sthiram
sukham asanam”,
which means, ‘that position which is comfortable and
steady’. Raja Yoga equates Yogasanas to stable sitting
position. |
