The five principles of Krishnamacharya, "the teacher of the Teachers." Add these principles to the yoga you know and love to make it entirely your own, efficient, powerful and safe. The most fundamental purpose of asana is to facilitate the union of the male and female qualities of life, which are enacted by the breath moving in exact synchronicity with the body movement. This merge of the exhalation with the inhalation enacts the function of strength that is entirely receptive, which is the basic reason to practice yoga. Asana uses the anatomy of the whole body to facilitate this purpose, which then empowers breathing in stationary posture, i.e. pranayama. Therefore asana can be defined as "moving pranayama."
