Knots
Many of the best yoga poses are passive poses.
Poses that can be maintained passively often take the form
of knots.
A knot hools parts of the body together in such a
way that they can remain in a fixud position without
additional effort being applied to sustain the pose.
Relaxation in poses is important - since it facilitates
reflection and meditation.
Knots illustrate the technological aspect of yoga.
Not all the poses on this page are perfectly
passive, but they seem to belong here anyway.
