The Meaning of Sthira Sukham Asanam Sthira – Steady, Sukha – comfortable, Asanam – is asana. So, the sutra literally states that steady and comfortable is an asana. Often you will read the explanation as ‘steady, comfortable pose is asana.” But here is exactly where the interpretation mistake happens: In the original (literal) translation, there is no mention of ‘pose’ in the definition. This is because asana is not a pose, asana is a state, state of the body and the mind. Location: Ananda In The Himalayas
