    It’s not an exercise preparation ! Ashtanga practice is meditation in motion !

    At that time, the only meaning of yoga was as an exercise preparation before meditation.

    The logic is:
    Tension in the mind tends to create tension in the body.
    When stretching the body, mind loses its tension too.

    yoga is 6000 years old practice….Its was not usually practiced by women. Only Men used to do that……However, now very few Indian women do simple yoga
