  • I just read all of the comments here. Such a beautiful film... so much bickering in the commentary.

    Sure, asanas are only one limb of the eight limbs of yoga. My head is only 1/8 of my body but I think I still need it for the rest to funcion well.

    Iyengar is beautiful.

  • Practice of asana is essential in preparing the body to be able sit for extended periods in meditation. Making the body strong and supple through correct asana practice, frees the mind from bondage to the aches, pains and aging processes of the body, & opens the bodies energy channels. Practice of yogic breathing then frees the intelligence from the oscillating disturbances of the mind, thus leading to a more peaceful mental state to better experience the Lord within. All 8 limbs are essential!

  • The full set of asanas were developed long before Patanjali time. It was not just 'sitting'. Most people cannot sit in full lotus posture for days at a time. The systematic development of the body was necessary before pranayama could be practice. This is not 'acrobacy' but the basic requirement for extended sitting and concentration for pranic control. Advanced pranayama requires a healthy, strong body, healthy nervous system, and the ability to sit without discomfort for many many hrs
