Aspects of Yoga
Asana is the third limb in Patanjali's Astanga Yoga.
From Yogashastra - Tome 2
This limb deals with the body, senses, mind, intelligence, consciousness and self.
Practice of asana brings poise in body, peace in mind and makes you cheerful. If makes you to indirectly follow yama and niyama.
So in an asana one places the body in the right position, with firmness, control over the body and with comfort and ease. The asana should also be done with an auspicious state of mind.
Mr. Iyengar says, "Body is my temple, asana are my prayers."
Namaste.
