It is said that Hatha Yoga techniques of are the stepping stones to higher levels of Yoga, such as meditation. According to Patanjali, Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind. At the outset the main precondition to peace of mind is correct posture. Yoga poses are done to attain steady pose, good health and overall physical lightness. All Yoga poses are designed to – directly or indirectly – calm and silence the mind. Nine out of ten of the Yoga poses are intended to build up different parts of one’s body. Another intention is to develop the strength necessary for the more advanced physical disciplines.

The purpose and intent of all Yoga poses is to recondition one’s system, both physically and mentally and to build up the nervous and glandular systems.

Once the body has been purified, vital energy (Prana) will automatically be conserved and the Yoga practitioner turns healthy and conscious. Patience, however, is of the utmost importance in all of the Yoga work. All surplus moisture has to be removed from the system, in particular from our joints. The lesser amount of moisture in the body, the simpler the poses become. Besides, your body is made to undergo less pain.

All Yoga poses have been categorized as follows:

• Standing
• Sitting
• Supine
• Prone
• Forward bends
• Backward bends
• Balancing
