Not an expert but certain relevant aspects need to be highlighted. Going through various books written by EXPERTS it could be summarized that. Yoga has immense benefits but one must practice it ( at the initial stage) under guidance of a GURU/expert. *The technique of breathings during each ASANA has it's strong benefits or otherwise. *Savasan is as useful as any other asana and can be practiced by a person of any age without any problem, but should never be practiced immediately after MEAL. *Right from Yoga Guru Patanjali, Swamy Shivanand Swaraswati, Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari, Yoga Guru Ayeinger, Acharya Ravishankar, Swami RAM DEV BABA or many others have laid down various forms of Yogasana which revolves around 'Breathing' and 'Correct posture' yet at initial stages each person needs a Guru(Instructor) because the body posture for each person needs to be TUNED UP with special care(initially) *Pranayam has it's tremendous Salutory impact with 'YOGASANA'. more
