Dear Mukunda, U mentioned in the SYT pg. 249 that the yoga asanas have to be practiced according to the sequence (even if some of them are omitted). May I know the rationale and benefits for doing that? Samantha |

Sequence I have created is one of many examples of how to order practice. This sequence is for balance of several considerations – it covers all joint directions of motion thus helping to retain natural range of motions; it can be used to focus on individual muscle patterns of weakness and/or tightness; it brings circulation through the body in the sequence of how the five pranas move in the body (this will be discussed at length in the final weekend of the SYT training); by so doing it also will promote the experience of sattvic state of mind which in turn will allow meditation to arise not merely to encourage its practice but the experience of meditation as a naturally arising field of communion consciousness. Good question, thanks. namaste mukunda
