What is alignment in an asana?

What is alignment in an asana and how to achieve it?
1) When we allow our mind to take a seat (settled and relaxed) in the body then we have established an Asana
2) When we calibrate the pace of breath with the clam mind then we have established alignment
3) When we are in the state of asana instead of performing it, then we have actually taken a seat
4) When there is clarity that the purpose of asana is to gather the scattered energy in the heart center as Prana then it is alignment
5) When we become a witness and not interfere/overwrite the pace of breath but simply allow the asana itself to cleanse, gather and hold prana by changing the breath pace you have allowed the innate alignment to take place
6) Asana is not always about feeling good, light, happy but holding a pleasant space in the mind (Su-kha) irrespective of the physical sensations
7) It cannot be one common experience for everyone in the same asana. We all are at a different place in our life physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually: honor that difference and know that irrespective of the time it takes, we all reach the same goal.
The final experience of Yoga is the same for everyone and we are all on the path. Knowing this, is alignment.

All About Shavasana
Shavasana (śavāsana) is the final resting pose of almost every yoga practice but how much do we really know about and understand it? We may think of it as being a pose of resting or relaxation to cool off after a vigorous asana practice but it is much more than that. In conversation with Shannon Crow
