Priour to everything, asana is spoken of as the first part of hath yoga. Having done asana one gets steadiness (firmness) of body and mind; diseaselessness and lightness (flexibility) of the limbs.
Asana is the first part of hath yoga. In raja yoga, asana refers to the sitting position, but in hath yoga it means something else. Asana is a specific position which opens the energy channels and psychic centres. Hath yoga is a process through which purification and control of the body take place by restructuring the pranic flows. The hath yogis also found that by developing control of the body through asana, the mind is controlled. Therefore, asana practice is foremost in hath yoga. When you practice asana, steadiness develops. Prana moves freely, and there is less chance of disease occurring. Just as stagnant water is the breeding ground for alll sorts of creatures, when prana stagnates anywhere in the body, conditions are perfect for bacteria to flourish; prana should move like swift flowing water.
