Getting acquainted with the physical part of yoga which contributes to the control of emotions and deep concentration — ASANAS — is the third level of classical yoga.
In Sanskrit the definition of asana is: «Sthira sukham asanam» — «steady and easy posture – that is the asana». Asana puts the body and mind in state of calm and happiness.
Asanas help control the mind, emotions and desires. If you can concentrate and direct all your inner life force into a peaceful direction - you can achieve great results.
