In his Yoga sutras Patanjali describes as asana as having two
important qualities, which are “sthira” and “sukha”. Sthira means steadiness and
alertness; Sukha means ease and comfort. Both of these should be used in yoga
asanas. Always begin from where you are. If you have a stiff back, you have to
acknowledge this is your starting point and work with the postures from here.
Progress with steadiness, alertness, ease and you will remain in comfort. Your
breath is the key link between your inner and outer body. Allow every movement
to be led by the breath. Allow the body to surrender it’s tension using the
breath and move further into poses during the out breath.
