By Dr. Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500 Precise Yoga alignment is very important for the human machine. Our bodies are calibrated to function at an optimal level if our bones, ligaments, and joints are in precise alignment. If our postural alignment is not correct when we are performing Yoga asanas, or any activity during the course of a day, we may cause pain, or even injury, to ourselves. If our ligaments, joints, and muscles are in the best possible alignment, the asanas themselves require less energy to perform. The asanas will also increase the circulation of prana (energy) in all of our joints more expeditiously, if we practice asanas in correct alignment. By practicing asanas in optimal alignment, you will optimize the flow of prana, or vital life energy, throughout your entire body.
