Yoga For Asana

Updated: Jul 4

Yoga asana, or postures, are an important part of yoga practice. They help to improve flexibility, strength, balance, and overall physical health. Additionally, asanas can also have a positive impact on mental well-being, helping to reduce stress, increase focus and concentration, and promote a sense of calm and inner peace. Regular practice of yoga asanas can also lead to improved posture and better alignment of the body. Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures, asanas, breathing techniques pranayama, and meditation.



The word "Hatha" is derived from the Sanskrit words "ha" (sun) and "tha" (moon) and often we have to balance our “sun” and moon” energies by doing the asanas on both sides of the body. For example, if the asana is to be done on the left first you have to hold the asana for the same amount of time as on Vishakh My Experience the right side. Some asanas are hard to do and some, are easy. This is because some people are more flexible than others and some people find balancing asanas easier to do. In my experience, strength based and some balancing asanas are easy and the asanas which require one to be flexible are very hard. Some asanas may be easier or harder for different people depending on their individual physical abilities and limitations, such as flexibility, strength, and balance.

Some asanas may be hard but if one consistently practice yoga then one will be able to perform the asanas effortlessly because one would have built up gradually the strength and flexibility.
