YOGA ASANAS

They keep the body and mind fresh and ‘fit. By regularly practising them we become spiritually better.

Asanas are best done on an empty stomach and soon after bathing. They should be practised regularly. The student should wear only light dress.

In the beginning easy asanas should be practised. It is always good to have a teacher to guide and help.

Each exercise should be repeated three or four times and proper rest should be taken between exercises. Some of the asanas themselves are in the nature of rest.

It is said that God Siva was the first toteach yoga asanas. He is said to have taught 84 lakhs of yogic asanas. Of them, only 84 are now commonly known.

Even among them, four are the more important ones.They are the Siddha, Padma,Simha and Bhadra asanas.
