Practising Asanas
There are five variations of Trikoṇāsana. Practice each according to your own capacity, not in competition. The posture benefits the kidneys, liver, digestion, and back muscles. However, do not practice it if you have problems with the hips, spine, discs, dizziness, epilepsy, knees, or headaches. Always practice with open eyes. The quality of yoga is found in doing as much as one can, for as long as one can, without force. Separate from the physical practice, be cautious with intense gazing techniques like Trāṭak in daily life; simple practice for health and concentration is best.
"Do as much as we can. No competition, no challenge, only do as much as we can do."
"We should not run behind different things. Do your good yoga exercises for your health and concentration."
