More about yoga!🧘‍♀️. Asana

The most popular type of yoga practiced today is ashtanga yoga mentioned in yoga sutra . Which has eight limbs or components which one must practice to attain mental, physical and spiritual peace.

Asana is the third limb of ashtanga yoga.

It is a posture that one must hold for a period of time, steady, relaxed and comfortable. The yoga sutra does not actually specify the type of asanas to perform.

Postures that are uncomfortable or painful and strained are not yogic postures. These postures are perfected over time.
