Otherwise we are just trying to perform a perfect posture and not really understanding the inner wisdom and self mastery that is why yoga came about.
Bhagavad Gita gave all the teachings and reasons to overcome the struggles of our ego personality.
By working in action and abandoning attachment. Being the same in success and failure.
Yoga is defined to be in sameness.
In the West we try to perform in the posture to gain a physical form. This is by using the ego mind and senses.
It is through the inner sense of direct perception we learn what is beyond the 5 senses and mind.
Ref Gita
After all when we only work with body through senses we hold onto labels, thoughts, attachments creating denseness.
We are the consciousness of physical form and not a physical form with a mind.
Even mind is a process of temporary thoughts and not permanent.
The only permanence is consciousness that supports the ego personality
Om Shanti
