Know about Asanas:
Asanas, an intrinsic part of yoga, are
body postures
modeled to blend the mind and body and
achieve complete physical and mental relaxation.
Regular practise of yogasana rejuvenates
the entire physiological system. In fact,
yogasana postures help the body to maintain
good health by improving its immune system.
Asanas work mainly on the endocrine and
nervous systems. Since both the systems
are inter-related, the effects produced
on these two reflect on the other systems
as well.

Remember:
A few things need to be remembered while
practising Asanas, namely:
1. Develop a habit of drinking
water before and after the practise,
and if required even during practise.
2. Maintain the asana posture with ease
as long as possible and gradually increase
the time. If unable to retain the posture
for long, repeat it several times to make
it easier.
3. Avoid jerky
movements while assuming or releasing
the posture. Perform slowly and steadily
without any strain. Start with the simple
postures and then take up the more difficult
ones.
4. Understand the purpose of each asana
so that while retaining it, concentration
can be bestowed on theed.

helps in controlling various diseases
and improving physical fitness, and improving
flexibility of various joints by removing

breathing. The time limit of retaining
the final posture depends on one’s
