Receptors in the muscles, joints, and skin provide information about
joint positions and associated muscle activities, as well as about strength
and stretching conditions, pressure and tension, influences of temperature,
and characteristics of the skin surface. These receptors send
stimulants to the brain, which then registers and identifies the source.



Through the practice of yoga you learn a lot about your own posture.
As a result, bends and twists of the body stimulate the sensory cells of
the organ of equilibrium in horizontal or vertical directions. The comprehensive
movements of your body and the changing positions of your
head when practicing yoga train you to become more conscious of your
own spatial orientation. Learning to be cognizant of body temperature,
of strain and relaxation, as well as of stretching and bending, increases
your sense of body awareness. In this way, you learn to notice poor posture
when you are not practicing yoga and you can make adjustments
whenever necessary.
When practicing yoga on a regular basis, you exercise all joints and
learn to avoid poor posture. By intentionally relaxing those muscles that
you are not using, you learn to more frequently attain a relaxed posture
in yoga as well as in your everyday life. The better you synchronize your
breathing and moving, the more profound your musculoskeletal relaxation
will be in phases of breathing exhalation. Tension and relaxation
are constantly alternating. With the conscious coordination of breathing
and movement, yoga helps you to counteract lasting tension. If you
feel your shoulders are tense and pulled up you can relieve the tension
by exhaling. The brain registers the varying stimulators, identifies their
locations, and trains your body in awareness: a challenging stretch, a
flowing movement, a relaxation that comes with an exhalation
