    Yogasan, the yogic exercises are an essential part of Preksha meditation. Until and unless the body is put into a relaxed, still and steady posture, one fails to achieve deep state of meditation. According to the Jain yoga practices, in the beginning, one should perform the yogic exercises on the floor in a lying posture that requires less energy. Subsequently yogic exercises in sitting and standing postures may be performed which increases the levels of energy consumption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          Specific recommendations for yogic exercises<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
          \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

          For yogic exercises, it is absolutely essential to select appropriate place, apparel, time, and right technique.<\/p>

          A clean, serene, and well-ventilated location is desirable. Avoid a damp, dirty or polluted place. One should wear loose, light, and comfortable clothes. It is recommended to perform all types of yogic exercises on a thick blanket in order to avoid the loss of energy.<\/p>

          In general, yogic exercises are performed early in the morning. However, few yogic exercises can also be done safely 3-4 hours post meals. Different rules apply to different yogic exercises. So it is advised to perform them under proper guidance. Vajraasan can be practiced immediately after meal but not sarvangaasan. Similarly, the duration of different yogic exercises vary with the type of the exercises, age, and physical condition of the practitioner. In general, 20-30 minutes are sufficient for most of the yogic exercises. Although, the practitioner may choose to take breaks in between and perform particular exercises for 5-10 minutes in a session, it is absolutely essential to maintain a daily routine. If we are unable to find sufficient time to perform specific exercises for every part of the body, we must at least pay daily attention to the five most important parts of our body viz. brain, backbone, heart and lungs, abdomen, and the feet.<\/p>
