What is the view on asanas?

When you relax and let go, your body will naturally find the postures it needs; true asanas arise from inner intelligence, not from forced imitation.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, asanas need not be practiced deliberately; when you relax and let go, the body spontaneously takes the postures and mudras it needs. These organic, arising-asanas are truly beneficial because they come from inner intelligence; forced, imitative forms are secondary. Through meditative release, the right postures appear by themselves, doing the inner work without willful effort.
Don’t force yoga poses; relax, and your body will naturally move into the shapes that help you.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces strain by trusting the body’s wisdom instead of forcing forms.
- Aligns practice with meditation: letting go invites authentic change.
- Ensures you do the postures most needed in the present moment.
