The Upanishads

Asana - Steady Posture

Stable and comfortable posture for meditation.

Asana provides a steady, comfortable seat for meditation. When the body is stable and relaxed, the mind can turn inward without physical distraction.

Let the yogi practice with body steady and mind controlled.

Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Shvetashvatara Upanishad 2.8
