It becomes potent by concealing, and impotent by exposing. The Yogi should practice Hatha Yoga in a small room, situated in a solitary place. #3 Asana is the first posture of Hatha Yoga. It should be practiced for gaining steady posture, health, and lightness of body. It is also an instrument for destroying the group of the most deadly diseases. #4 The Siddhasana is the best posture to cleanse the impurities of 72,000 nadis. It is also called the opener of the door of salvation. Other asanas are of no use when success has been achieved in the Siddhasana, and Prana Vayu becomes calm and restrained by Kevala Kumbhaka.
