When practicing an āsana our attention should be directed toward the central point of the movement of breath. For instance, the main action when we breathe in moves from the upper chest to the navel; when we breathe out the action is mostly in the abdomen. Our attention is on these movements. Consciously following the breath is a form of meditation in which we try to become completely one with the movement. This is the same attention to action that we discussed earlier. Whoever masters this can direct his attention toward any sort of activity.
