    Commentaries around

    “If Śarīra leads Ātma, there is Kleśa.
    The cause of this is Karma Vāsana and Mithyā Indriya.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 2

    “There are different body structures,
    therefore not all Āsana are enjoined.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    the Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 31

    “When the body is disordered,
    make use of the body to reduce.
    When thought is agitated,
    make use of Prāṇāyāma to reduce.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    The Yoga Rahasya Chapter Four verse 31

    “Holding the body steady, with the three upper parts erect,
    causing the senses and the mind to enter the heart,
    the wise person should cross by the boat of Mantra,
    all the fear bringing streams of the mind.”
    – Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad Chapter 2 verse 8
    – 108 Chanting Practice Pointers

    “Śarīrika Sādhana – Keeping the body fit and well.
    In the language of Patañjali Āsana is mostly Śarīrika Sādhana.”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    Different Types of Postural Activity in Āsana Practice
    “Furthermore, the consideration of the roles of
    movement and stasis can be further developed through
    Krishnamacharya’s teachings on application of Āsana.
    For example, whether for circulation or for purification,
    within both structural and/or systemic roles for Āsana.
    Regarding circulation, or what he called Rakta Calana.
    When you want to activate the circulation you move.
    Regarding cleansing, or what he called Śarīra Śodhana.
    When you want to activate a purificatory process you stay.
    Both presume there is competent access to the breath,
    working access to the concepts of Prāna, Apāna and Agni,
    and experience of how to direct the breath in the spine.”
