Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. Aligning body, mind and soul with the infinite

46th Sutra Chapter 2 The posture of the body, as also the posture of the mind, or attitude to life, should be firm and pleasant. Through the Asans, as we develop the requisite strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, ease and comfort in the physical body, so do the same get developed in the mind, psychologically and emotionally. As the body gets toned, the mind gets tuned. —————————————— स्थिरसुखमासनम्॥४६॥ sthira-sukham-āsanam ॥46॥ sthira = steady, stable sukham = happiness âsanam = posture ---------------------------
