    The action of a posture may be delayed……

    Posted on February 2, 2017February 3, 2017 by Paul Harvey

    Āsana_12a

    “The action of a posture may be delayed
    because the student has tried to force the body into a posture.
    Never measure something by its immediate effects.”
    – From study notes with TKV Desikachar England 1992
