Is it better to perform more rounds of an Asanas or to perform it once and maintain it for a longer stretch?
An Asana is a pleasurable and stable body posture. In a steady posture the flightiness of the mind is reduced and this is an objective of any Asana. Following this principle, it is more important to maintain as Asana for a longer stretch than to practise more rounds of it. However, for the first few days it is better to perform multiple rounds of an Asana for short lengths of time. This will accustom your body to perform the Asana. Once you have practised an Asana well, you should slowly reduce the number of rounds and maintain the Asana longer at a stretch.
