Practising Yoga asanas, gives us the chance to experience "being on a thin edge" , overcome the fear of falling and finding the balance" which gives us a feeling of sharpness and independence. In order to keep the balance, we need concentration (Dhahran - one of the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga) - where attention is not spilled out. And that which we learn in our practice, we can apply to our lives too.
