asana and pranayama must be applied without

violence, ahimsa, with sensitivity to what becomes

apparent. they must be applied honestly, satya, responding

to what becomes apparent, and nothing else. they

must be applied without grasping, asteya, accepting

what becomes apparent. they must be applied

judiciously, brahmacharya, without dispersing or wasting

energy. they must be applied generously, with neither

prejudice nor preference, aparigraha, without identifying

with what does or does not occur. they must be applied

with total commitment, sauca, free from hesitation,

hedging or holding back. they must be applied willingly,

samtosa, without resentment, anxiety, or doubt. they must

be applied with passion, tapas, with a burning

enthusiasm that eclipses the possibility of force or

imposition. they must be applied as a process of open

enquiry, svadhyaya, of selfreflection.they must be applied

with devotion, pranidhana, gratitude and love towards

that which occurs. then pranayama may lead to

pratyahara to dharana to dhyana to samadhi. but the only way

to find out, that i’m aware of, is to apply

yama&niyama to asana and pranayama, regularly, consistently.
