A perfect asana demands our resolution to practice without injuring, pretension, competing, self-gratification, and desiring more than what we need at present. It invites us to practice with purity, contentment, discipline, attention, and dedication. Asana should be practiced skillfully, not willfully, and what we practice, we experience.
