Session Description:

Prayatna saithilyananta samapattibhyam

Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless. This state of being can take time. We can cultivate it by being firm in our body, steady in our mind, and delighted in our spirit.

Let's practice asanas with a feeling of firmness and steadiness. And let's then see if this can lead us to the state of effortless effort.
