Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 45
āsanena vinā prāṇāyāmaḥ sidhyati na eva hi |
vinā prāṇa nirodhena na manaḥ sthiratāṃ vrajet ||
Without Āsana, truly, Prāṇāyāma cannot become accomplished.
Without containing Prāṇa, the mind cannot achieve steadiness.

Commentary by Paul Harvey:
“Without Āsana,
Prāṇāyāma cannot become accomplished.
Without containing Prāna,
the mind cannot achieve steadiness.”
