Asana

Being the first accessory of Haha Yoga, âsana is described first in Hatha Yoga Pradeepika. It is practised for gaining steady posture, health and lightness of body.


Swastika-âsana.

Hatha Yoga Pradeepika says, Having kept both the hands under both the thighs, with the body straight, when one sits calmly in this posture, it is called Swastika.






Gomukha-âsana.

Placing the right ankle on the left side and the left ankle on the right side, makes Gomukha-âsana, having the appearance of a cow.
