There are also many nerve fibers that take information back to the brain via the spinal cord regarding the status of the muscle (afferent). Usually, muscle is activated by a group of nerve fibers - arising from the brain and spinal cord (efferent) - that sends a volley of electrical impulses to act in a coordinated and smooth fashion. Feedback mechanisms in the muscle fibers and in the tendon connecting the muscle to the bones are activated through stretch achieved in asana practice. If the stretch is beyond normal, the muscle or more likely, the tendon connecting the muscle to a bone, could rupture. Sports medicine is realizing the importance of stretch of a muscle for protecting it from damage due to overuse.

If coordination is lost due to some trauma (for example, a brain injury), the muscle could exhibit one of three distinct problems: (a) It could become flaccid or has decreased strength (as in a stroke patient); (b) it could become rigid (as in spasticity); or (c) it could lose coordinated function (as in Parkinson's tremor). We can lift one arm or one leg to add challenge as well. You will need to gradually stretch these muscles and in the mean time you can practice the plank (forward version) on your fists or forearms.

In sports, usually, only certain muscles pertaining to that sports are activated in preference to others. To use an analogy, if our Buddha Nature is likened to a translucent diamond composed of light, then the different deities, like Tara and Chenrezig, are like different facets of this diamond, expressing different qualities of the enlightened mind. That very absence of substance appears as multiplicity, the nature of appearances is nothing at all; although there is a constant stream of creativity it is no-thing and that is immaculate. In Dharamsala, there are numerous yoga styles you can choose from. There are two possible methods in the practice of asanas: Static and dynamic.

A wooden floor is ideal, and the perfect floor is one that allows you to practice without a "sticky mat". For example, blocks can be very useful in helping you to balance in standing poses if you cannot reach the floor with your hand. However, if the surface of your floor is slippery, you must use a mat. However, people with these and other issues can still experience the benefits of a fitness regimen, and even improve their condition, by modifying their exercise routine. Instead, I suggest practicing Utthita trikonasana , Baddha konasana, and Balasana, all of which are soothing and can help relieve cramping. If you are pregnant, it is best not to practice dynamic yoga.
