‘One should not overstretch, nor understretch. If one thing is overstretched, something else gets under stretched. If overstretching comes from a swollen ego, then under stretching results from a lack of confidence. If overstretching is exhibitionism, under stretching is escapism.

Overstretching and under stretching are both wrong: Always stretch from the source, the core, and the foundation of each asana. This is the art of dynamic extension. It is not yoga that injures, but it is the way one does yoga that leads to injury. The moment space becomes narrow, it means you are injuring. In the correct asana, there is no narrowness.Even if your body is stiff, you have to bring space.

Always try to extend and expand the body. Extension and expansion bring space, and space brings freedom. Freedom is precision, and precision is divine. From freedom of the body comes freedom of the mind and then the Ultimate Freedom.’

“The structure of an asana cannot change, as each asana is an art of holiness in itself. But when the sadhaka performs, he does his best at it. One has to study the structure of each asana, arithmetically and geometrically. As arithmetic is based on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, one has to add proper action in order to have proper adjustments; minus the unwanted, unnecessary and wrong actions by avoiding underdoing or overdoing; multiply the intensity of awareness and divide and distribute the energy evenly. In order to adjust geometrically, we have to measure the dimensions of asana so that we fit properly into it. Each asana in its methodology has certain measurements of its height, length, width and girth. Again there is a direction to the movement and action of the body which has to be followed properly. One has to analyse and realise the real shape and form of each asana so that it is expressed and presented properly.

Asana may be angular or triangular, straight or oblique, circular or semi-circular, round or oval shaped, upright or inverted. One has to note all these points in each asana by observation and study and then act in the field - the body - for the knower of the field - the Self - to perform in its pristine glory. It means total involvement of the whole body with senses, mind, intelligence, consciousness and self. One has to be careful not to create room for emptiness and forgetfulness in the known and the unknown bodies. One has to use the weapon of ego or ‘I’ consciousness carefully so that it neither gets inflated nor loses its well. This weight becomes submissive at the right moment.”
