Yoga in the theoretical and practical form is now accepted all over the world, by the researchers as well as by the general population. Yogāsana or Yogic postures are one of the main foundations of practical yoga. Mechanisms of Mediation and Prānāyāma has already been established. In this article, the author is for the first time proposing physiological classification of Yogāsana i.e. (a) Stretch (b) Contraction (c). Neuromuscular Coordination (d) Sense Reduction (e) Spine Brain Activation. In support of this physiological classification author has proposed five hypothetical theories i.e. (i) Stretch Relaxation Awareness (ii) Contraction Relaxation Awareness (iii) Ballastic Contraction Relaxation Awareness (iv) Sensory Motor Function Awareness and (v) Vital Energy Flow Awareness to understand the underlying mechanisms of Yogāsana practice and to explain its benefits.
瑜伽的理论和实践形式如今已被全世界的研究人员和普通大众所接受。瑜伽体式是实践瑜伽的主要基础之一。冥想和调息的机制已经确立。在本文中，作者首次提出了瑜伽体式的生理分类，即：(a)伸展；(b)收缩；(c)神经肌肉协调；(d)感官减退；(e)脊柱大脑激活。为支持这一生理分类，作者提出了五个假设理论，即：(i)伸展放松意识；(ii)收缩放松意识；(iii)弹道式收缩放松意识；(iv)感觉运动功能意识；(v)生命能量流意识，以理解瑜伽体式练习的潜在机制并解释其益处。
