Asanas or yogic postures are of two type: Meditative postures and Cultural postures
Meditative postures are 1.PADMASANA 2.SIDDHASANA 3.SWASTIKASANA 4.SUKHASANA
All the other postures are Cultural postures.
Uses of Meditative postures :
1. An erect postition of the spine will keep it in its natural curve.
2. Training the body to sit for long periods (one to two hours) without movements reduces its metabolic processes to a minimum. When the body is kept in a steady position for a long time, the mind becomes free from all physiological disturbances caused by physical activities of the body.
Moreover, a straight spine helps the students to concentrate because in the straight position there is a steady flow of nerve current or nerve energy through the body.
