The three asanas that we practice are those positions of our three bodies that allow us to maintain a continuous, steady focus without distraction.  The environment that we are seeking by means of asana is:

STILLNESS - SILENCE - TRANSPARENCY

  "The love of a man and a woman is the metaphor of the divine love radiating throughout the Whole Being God Is.  Our individual physical life is the metaphor for the non-separateness of the Whole Being God Is.  The physical asana is the loving union of the male and female part of our Self."

"Calm Joy is the asana of the emotional body."

    "When an idea arises upon this still lake, it has a singular potency.  It echoes in great clarity.  It stands alone without attaching itself to the sage himself.  It is just there.  This is the essential asana of the mental body.  The mind is forgotten.  It is left alone."
