Yogic Postures Rules

Yogasanas are simple actions for keeping the internal and external parts of the body in good health. No activity can be performed well so long as the internal and external parts of the body are not in good health. The body and the mind are closely related. Both should be fully taken care of. Thousands of years ago, the people of ancient Greece believed in the principle ‘A sound mind in a sound body’. The whole system of their education was based on this principle.

There are seven ways for the elimination of waste matter produced in the body by daily physical activities and functioning of the digestive system:

1. Through left and right nostrils
   
2. Through left and right eyes
   
3. Through left and right ears
   
4. Through the mouth
   
5. Through the anus
   
6. Through the genitals and
   
7. Through the skin
   

Most diseases are the result of the absence of sufficient and regular elimination of waste matter such as urine and stool from the body. Yogic exercises help the process of elimination of waste matter from the body and keep the body in perfectly sound health.
