YOGA FOR BEGINNER.
The beginners group should be performed by those who
have never practised yogasanas before, who are infirm in any
way, weak or sick and who are therefore unable to perform the
more difficult practices. This group consists of elementary
techniques designed to prepare the body and mind for major
and meditation asanas. These practices are in no way inferior
to the advanced asanas and are very useful in improving
physical health. Included in this group are the pawanmuktasana
series, eye exercises, relaxation, premeditation and meditation
poses, asanas performed from vajrasana, standing asanas, surya
and chandra namaskara.
