基础教程－chapter1-begining(精读篇)

We begin with the standing asanas. The standing asanas are known as Uttistha sthiti. Throughout most of our waking hours we stand on our legs, but we do not pay attention to the correct method of standing. These asanas bring our attention to how we stand and correct the posture of the body. One learns the basic position of standing firmly on the legs. One learns how to distribute the weight when the arms are taken through various movements, without disturbing the position and shaking the entire body.
