The standing poses are fundamental to all levels of Ashtanga practice.

Each one relates to other poses that occur later on in the Primary

Series in a different orientations in space (ie supine or inverted). By

juxtaposing the similar poses, we can gain deeper insight into the

underlying principles at work, and how to overcome the challenges of

each asana, creating a multi-dimensional, kinesthetic experience of the

meditative power of the yantra.
