Abstract
Yoga asana practices involve stretching and maintaining a final posture. Maintaining final posture consists of isometric contraction of muscles wherein the muscles work as they carry weight of the body. Thus, stretching and isometrics are inherent in these practices. Irrespective of steadiness or wandering mind of a practitioner, the above components come to play on the neuromuscular system. We know the benefits of the above functions in reasonable details; stretching improves muscle control and isometrics could strengthen the muscles involved.
