• Yoga has been adapted to life in the modern day.
• Any posture far removed from the normal posture is a problem and therefore risky if there is any problem with the body.
• Inverted postures present problems because of the tension that people carry in their necks.
• Postures that create tension should be avoided.
• Moving into the posture after the exhale is an adaptation.
• Krishnamacharya designed aids to help people achieve postures.
• Slow movement has a different action on the muscles, it is harder work.
• The role of Āsana, its purpose and goal must be respected.
• Opposite postures are a handicap but can help us to appreciate something different in a posture.
• We must feel ourselves and what is happening in a posture.
