The Patanjali Yoga Sutras is a text that provides guidance on the eight limbs of Yoga and has been influential in the development of various schools of Yoga. It offers a holistic approach to living a healthy and fulfilling life by integrating physical, mental, and spiritual practices. Dr. Samprasad Vinod, a well-known International Yoga Guru, emphasizes that Yoga is not an exercise but a way of life, and Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation are tools to help connect with the source of infinite energy within. Yoga is extremely effective in preventing problems with both mental and physical health and is advantageous in getting along with oneself and others. The Yamas and Niyamas teach us how to be decent, kind, and non-harmful to other people, and asanas, pranayama, and meditation can be used in many other ways to improve different aspects of life. According to Dr. Samprasad Vinod, there are four essential requirements for postures to be called asanas.
