21. For Asana: Remember -For Asana: Remember -
After , performing Asana [your daily Yoga
regime] if at the end of it, if you feel
 Stressed,
 Overworked
Unhappy
Drained our

At Peace
Happy / Pleasant from within
Energetic
Ready to live your day ahead
Enthusiastic for resuming your routine
You need to pay attention
“Where are you going wrong” or something
going wrong

23. It may happen sometime after doing some
difficult asana from which your body is not
accustom to perform, you experience pains
and aches in that part, but you will never feel
stressed out / lack of energy from with in.
Know the difference between-
Physical aches
And
Inner stressed out / drained out

24. Solution :Solution :
Listen to your body-be Aware: observe
your self while you are doing Asana
Listen to your body, what is it trying to say
Pay attention to your inner voice-see what
is it trying to convey that you are not able to
pay attention to
See where are you going wrong not able to
follow inner instructions.

25. Sometimes, your body may be too tired, or
unwell to do any strenuous exercise of any
form [including asana], it requires relaxation
more /meditation more first
If, you will learn to pay attention to what your
body tries to convey to you through inner
voice, you will never go wrong in performing
asana.

26. Even after following the guidelines of what
your body is trying to convey, you still
continue to feel worst, check out with your
Yoga consultant / or a good Holistic Healer

27. But for all these, you first need to be
Attentive
Aware
Observer
100% presence [presence of mind, body,
breath all together]
every time when you do your Asana.
[Never forget incorporating 7 Keys while you
perform Asana]

What you did is not Asana /Yoga

‘O God, May I have the maturity to
accept totally, gracefully, what I
cannot change; May I have will,
courage, honesty and sincerity of
purpose to change what I can; and May
I have the wisdom to know the
difference between what I can change
and what I cannot.’

37. “Yoga is a way of moving into
stillness in order to experience the
truth of who you are. The practice of
yoga is the practice of meditation - or
inner listening - in the poses and
meditations, as well as all day long.
It's a matter of listening inwardly all
the time, and then daring enough and
trusting enough to do as you are
prompted to do...”

38. ‘I cannot define the word ‘yoga’
for you because it’s definition
differs for each & every individual
on this earth. Your own individual
experience out of it’s sincere &
routine practice will define it’s
meaning for your-self.’
Come Let us define Yoga for
Ourselves.
