ASANA [YOGIC ASANA]

Yoga is an ancient philosophy of life as well as a system of exercises that encourages the union of mind, body, and spirit. In the words of Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras, "yoga is the ability to focus the mind on a single point without distraction." Yoga is a physical discipline; it uses the body and breathing to develop self-awareness and mental clarity.
There is simply no other discipline quite like yoga because it utilized the body, mind and spirit, all in one practice. Yoga is indeed a spiritual path that is based on ancient sacred philosophy, but one does not need to make an ethical decision when practicing yoga, rather finding your own path is wholly accepted. The holistic benefits of yoga are suitable for the young or old, sick or well, with any religious background. The secrets of yoga are inwardness, concentration, and purification of mind and body with cleansing thoughts and food.

CAUTIONS DURING PRACTICE OF ASANA

During practice if you have any extreme pain in the spine or any other part of the body, then, stop it immediately and consult an experienced yoga guru. 
During asana, do not hold the breath and follow the instructions given in the book very carefully. 

TO PRACTICE AFTER COMPLETING ASANA

    Generally, we are not aware about the cautions after completing asanas. That’s why the practitioner doesn’t get proper benefits. 

  • After completing asanas, go immediately in yog nidra or chaitanya nidra.
  • Do not have any type of liquid or solid food until 15 minute after exercise.  
  • Do not take a shower immediately after finishing yoga.
  • A walk is a helpful warm up exercise before asana but not after.
