Even through [asana] is the physical movements, yoga will, quickly begin to work its magic.Patanjali, a Sage and a pioneer of classical yoga who synthesized, and organized knowledge about yoga from older traditions, compiled a collection of 196 Indian sutras on the theory and practice of yoga. He writes ‘Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha’ which means yoga is stilling the mind in order to experience ultimate reality and move towards self-realization.
