    Tiredness in certain asanas? (the extended side angle and twisted side angle)

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 07:46 PM PDT

    Hi all.

    I get a strange sense of tiredness in certain asanas - the extended side angle and twisted side angle.

    After the practice I feel ok (not tired at all) it's just during these two asanas.

    I look at my hand holding the pose, focus on my breath and there is always a sense of fatigue in my body and a thought "I am tired. Why am I doing this."

    What is going on?

    Science behind yoga asanas and pranayama

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 02:48 AM PDT

    I'm interested in understanding more about the (modern) scientific explanation of how yoga asanas and pranayama work to improve health.

    I've been reading Yog: In Synergy with Medical Science by Acharya Balkrishna (mainly focuses on the science of pranayama). I also came across Science of Yoga by Ann Swanston (haven't read it yet). Any thoughts on these books? Are there others that people would recommend?
