"Asana is not a dirty word. When we teach asana with intelligence, breath, focus, and an invitation to turn inward, then asana becomes the gateway."
"Asana has a far-reaching effect on our mental and spiritual well-being. It is a means to access clarity and engage with higher limbs of yoga."
The article addresses the misconception that asana, the physical practice of yoga, is superficial and not true yoga. It argues that when taught thoughtfullyâwith breath, focus, and introspectionâasana serves as a powerful gateway to deeper aspects of yoga, including mental clarity and inner peace. While often simplified to just physical postures, asana plays a crucial role in the eight-limbed path of yoga described by Patanjali, connecting practitioners with higher states of awareness and personal growth.
