Relaxation

Was reading during my lunch break and came across something that I'll pay more attention to during tomorrow's practice. Relaxing more into each asana and not clenching. Relaxing the eyes, tongue, throat, neck and head more. According to Iyengar, this relaxes the mind as well as the body. No tension in these areas means there is no tension in the brain. If you are tense during asana and pranayama, you are doing with an egoistic brain instead of your body. It's a waste of energy, when in yoga we are trying to generate and stabilise our energy. Something to keep in mind :)
