Conclusion of Yogāsana. Although the technical description is confused in the transmission, the message is clear: this is the supreme posture for advanced practitioners.

“Giver of perfection.” While other postures prepare the body, Yogāsana directly leads to elevated states of consciousness. It is the meditator’s throne.

The therapeutic benefits mentioned are the same as other principal postures. This suggests that all major postures eventually lead to the same results when practiced with complete dedication.
