Dynamic and static asana practices

Abstract

[...]a proper sequence of recruitment of skeletal muscle is important for rehabilitation. [...]it may be said that muscle stretch as practiced in Yoga asanas provide control to the muscle; muscle activity in sports provides muscle strength. Needless to say, muscle prowess without control could be self-defeating; muscle control without strength is a weakness that should be avoided. [...]the role of Yoga asanas in rehabilitation and as a complement to strength building measures such as exercises cannot be overemphasized. [...]Yoga asanas, pranayama, and meditation practiced in an enthusiastic and dedicated manner seems to help a person in attaining peace and spread this peace and Ananda around him/herself. 1.
