Sarvangasana (shoulder stand)
From the point of view of practicing on the yoga mat, yoga, as we know, is the composite of three main practices – asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing) and meditation. In fact, when we look at the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali, he prescribes eight limbs of yoga – yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. Yamas and niyamas present moral, ethical and social guidelines that help us cleanse the mind and prepare us for other limbs of yoga. Pratyahara is the ability to turn the senses inward. Dharana, dhyana, and samadhi are a continuum of deepening meditation practice.
The definition and goal of yoga is to subdue the constant chatter that goes on in the mind (sutra 1.2)1. The key practice to attain that goal, as prescribed by Patanjali, is meditation. All the other limbs of yoga help and prepare us for attaining deeper states of meditation and ultimately attaining the final goal. The sequence mentioned by Patanjali and the one most people tend to follow is to practice asana, then pranayama and finally meditation. However, given the importance of meditation, you should give the highest priority to meditation.

In our day-to-day life, we are always presented with various alternatives to choose from. For example, in terms of food, we are often confronted with having to choose between food that tastes great but is known to be unhealthy (let’s say French Fries and coke) and a healthy, home-cooked veggie dish which we may not find tasty enough. Similarly, in order to maintain a healthy body and mind, we may commit ourselves to a regular, daily yoga routine early in the morning. When the alarm goes off in the morning, we are confronted with having to choose between staying in the warm, comfortable bed a little longer or making the unpleasant choice of jumping out of bed to practice yoga.
As we know, we are always faced with similar situations in every aspect of our life, be it work, family, shopping, planning a vacation etc. More often than not, we end up making a choice that is pleasing but not necessarily desirable versus another alternative that may be highly desirable but not pleasing. For the most part we prefer something that is pleasing to one of the five senses – hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell. Choosing pleasant over the desirable may provide instant gratification but can cause incurable harm in the long run. We all know how, by choosing to consume food that is pleasant but otherwise unhealthy, we can end up getting all kinds of serious ailments like high BP, diabetes, cancer etc.

Tip-toe balance
As you may be aware, the three important components of yoga practice are asana, pranayama and meditation. The most important text that is normally referred to as authority on these practices is the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. It lists several asana, pranayama and meditation practices. However, over time, as yoga has gained global acceptance and popularity, many new techniques and practices have been added. In the Integral Yoga style of yoga that I practice and teach, there is a basic sequence that forms the core of the practice. As one becomes comfortable with the basic routine, one can start adding more variations to the basic set and also more new practices.
To derive maximum benefit from your yoga practice, it is important that you establish a home-based practice of your own. To help you develop your home practice, I offer two resources – my yoga blog and the youtube channel. Over the years, I have written blog posts on all the basic asana and pranayama techniques and short sequences that I teach in my classes. In addition, for most of these articles, I have also provided a link to the corresponding video demonstration on youtube.
