*Subject:* [FairfieldLife] Maharishi's Yoga Asanas
Mahesh Yogi formulated a six month course on yoga asanas followed by a
second course with more advanced postures for use in a one year
course. According to Maharishi, yoga asanas are "...a reliable
practice from the ancient tradition of yogis."
He recommended yoga asanas as a way to keep the body flexible.
According to Yogi the advantage of asanas over other types of exercise
is that yoga asanas do not consume energy. This course was adopted by
the International Academy of Meditation at Shankaracharya Nagar,
Himalayas.
According to White, "It was especially within two tantric sects, the
Western Transmission and the Yogin Kaula (transmitted by Matsyendra)
that a practical concomitant to this speculative - and in some cases
gnoseological or soteriological - metaphysics"came to be practiced by
the Nath Siddhas who claim their origins in the person and teachings
of Matsyendranath.
