sthira-sukham asanam
Yoga Sutra of Patanjali Chapter 2 verse 46
Steadiness and Ease
Many yoga students will have experienced a moment of Grace on the mat when they let go of effort and felt the sensation of steadiness and ease in a pose. This is Yoga asana. Steady comfortable pose. Too often a student is influenced by an intellectual push to achieve something, instead of allowing movement to arise naturally. Yoga asana when practiced authentically can be a delightfully liberating practice, free of strain and a gateway to spiritual insight. Achieving steadiness and ease in a posture is the basis of a sound approach to asana practice, bringing a quality of deep joy and nourishment to yoga.

“One of the gifts of yoga, is the ability to engender in us a growing sensitivity to our own prana so that we learn to move through our lives with steadiness (sthira) and ease (sukha).” Robert Svoboda
