Why do we practice Asana?
Why so much focus on Asana practice? we were asked.
1. It's the most measurable form of Yoga practice. Being measurable,
makes it's easier to advance
2. Asanapractice helps differentiate the observer (seer, Purusha) from
the observed (object), thus helping the observer not to indentify with
the flux of contentiousness.
[ As in the Yoga-sutra : 1.3,1.4:: "Then, the Witness is aware of
it's own form; otherwise - identifies with the flux of
contentiousness" ]
