Consider the application to the practice of asana is the first essential condition is not damaged! It clearly meets the requirement of ahimsa – nonviolence, one of the principles of the “hole” as applied to himself. Again and ponder what was said to him: the requirement set out in the initial stage of Raja Yoga is called ahimsa, and reads as follows: Do not damage your body during practice! And not specify which practices, therefore, is meant as a corporal and spiritual work. This is not a wish, but a principle, it is the law, which must be respected, only then will the practice, which is in question, may be called yoga. It is used in its initial stages for the recovery of the body, but not for depression or inflicting injury.
