Preface to Yogasanas:
Yoga as a system of physical exercise has been in existence in India since very ancient times. According to our ancient sages, there are eight stages of yoga, viz., (1) Yama (Social disicipline), (2) Niyama (Individual disicipline). (3) Asana (Postures), (4) Pranayama (Breath Control), (5) Pratyahara (Mental dicipline), (6) Dharana (COncentration), (7) Dhyana (Meditation) and (8) Samadhi (Self-realization). If an aspirant, after observing the disciplines of Yama and Niyama, practices Yogic Exercises, his tubular channels are cleansed, he achieves excellant health and his mind becomes alert.
A humble effort has been made is this site to impart the knowledge of yoga to common man.
