All in yoga sutra

Skill in Action

“Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam”, says Kṛṣna - Yoga is skill in action. This famous line from the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is often cited in reference to our skill at performing āsana, but how skillful you are at putting your foot behind your head, or kicking up into handstand isn’t quite what Kṛṣna had in mind — in fact, he had quite the opposite in mind when he uttered these words to Arjuna.
