The science of asanas in Kundalini Yoga All forms of yoga use Asana as a part of their practice, even if the Asana is as simple as sitting in a comfortable meditative posture. One of the main reasons why Kundalini Yoga works so fast and effectively is its use of angles in its Asanas; this is one of the “secrets” of its success. Lifting the legs to different heights creates pressure on specific glands and organs depending upon the angle of the lift. Pressuring the glands causes them to secrete. When the pressure is released and the body is held motionless, the glandular secretions that have been stimulated have an opportunity to circulate freely throughout the body. The result is a balanced glandular system which has a definite effect on your emotional stability through the chemistry of your body. The key idea within an Asana is that all parts of the body are well-balanced, comfortable and aligned. In certain deep meditations your consciousness may alter to the degree that you temporarily lose normal body awareness. In that case, the posture must be balanced in such a way that it is easy for the body to hold the Asana without conscious effort. If you are imbalanced then your muscles may jerk or spasm to adjust for the imbalance. That little spasm can cause a negative response in the body so make sure that you are well-balanced and comfortable in the Asana, if not, ask your instructor for assistance.
