Difficult asanas in the initial stage is a source
of injures for the beginners and bring more damages than benefits.
Obstacles for performance of such asanas are:
- A range of stretching does not allow to reach ideal form of
asana (for example splits or lotus poses);
- force that is acting on single part of the body exceeds critical
level (for example weight of body acting on the neck in headstand);
- moment of force (moment of force = force*length) acting on single
ligaments of the body exceeds critical level, (stretching of perineum
muscles in splits poses);
Because of these obstacles the beginners are not able to reach
a state of mind that asana gives.
The beginners are able to perform and reach a state
of mind only in very limited number of simple asanas.
For such asanas like padmasana (lotus pose), sirshasana (headstand),
chacrasana (wheel pose) it is required to find a keys. If such keys
are found than progress in yoga accelerates.
With exercise device flexible board for asanas present on

form of body in asana and higher state
of mind.
