3. ASANA: The third limb of The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali
Asanas are the exercise postures of yoga. Mountain pose, tree pose, child's pose, happy baby pose, warrior I, warrior II, downward dog, and plank are all examples.
Patanjali compares the asanas to resting like the cosmic serpent on the waters of infinity. Asanas prepare the body for meditation by freeing the body and mind from tension and restlessness. Then you can meditate on the infinite.
