ASANA - S & S

Unlike Gymnasiums and Weight loss programs, or Power training, where an individual is pushed beyond his/her capacity to exercise, Yoga encourages one to be in sync with oneself while doing asanas.

You should not push yourself to the final position in any Asana or stretch which causes pain. Do slow, gentle movements, and as much as you can manage with minimal stress.

The attempt here is only to gain flexibility, agility and control of the breath. Once the body is flexible, one can move to higher challenges such as Final Asanas positions or Sadhana.

An asana should make the student feel steady, calm and happy. When that feeling is achieved, one is doing it right.

Asanas, for beginners, should always be done under supervision of a Certified Practitioner.
