B.K.S. Iyengar- "After acting, reflect on what you have done. If you do not reflect, there is confused action. Pause between each movement. The self has to find out whether the posture has been done well or not."
There are two categories of postures included. They stretch the abdomen, increase the mobility of the spine and hips, and open the groin. Some strengthen the back, arms, and legs. Others are restful.
The supine postures may be practiced intensively or quietly When practicing quietly, with a bolster or blankets for support, time should be spent on getting into a comfortable position so that the back can relax fully.
In the back arches there is a tendency for a lumbar spine to contract. The legs and trunk should be stretched well before beginning them.
Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svansana) is an important posture as it accustoms the body to being in an inverted position. This inversion is of great benefit in helping to relax the brain.
As with the sitting poses, care should be take to avoid straining the knees.
