Time Limit for Asanas

There is no time limit for individual Asanas and this is left completely to the convenience of the practitioner. There are two types of Asanas; one is static and the other dynamic. The dynamic Asanas could be repeated a number of times. This can be done without getting tired. As far as the static Asanas are concerned, the practitioner is expected to be in a posture for a prescribed time. There is no stipulated time for individual Asanas. However, if the practitioner feels some pain in any part of the body while performing the Asanas, he should immediately stop.
The time devoted for the individual Asana should be of short duration in the initial stage and this duration should be gradually increased on the basis of the comfort and ease with which a person can perform. The time at the disposal of the practitioner and the objective for which he is practising are the prime determining factors.
