體位法的修練可以幫助我們提高身心的耐力能力，以便更能承受緊張與壓力。

比如：後仰式，可以讓我們看到一個人的勇氣與堅持力。手臂平衡式也可以培養忍耐力，如果你能夠在生活中學會適應與平衡，你就能學會接受無常與變化。

保持瑜伽的體位法需要忍耐力。掌握體位法需要耐心與訓練，只做幾個鬼臉是學不會體位法的。

我們已經知道如何在體位法姿勢中創造放鬆; 即使有些的緊張，也必須創造放鬆。；甚至在壓力適量的時候也知道如何放鬆，這種放鬆方式可以從釋放太陽穴和大腦細胞中的壓力開始，透過放鬆太陽穴和眼睛，就可以解除大腦的負擔，隨之神經與肌肉纖維的壓力負擔也得以解除，如此，不可忍受的苦痛也會變得可以忍受的。這樣你就獲得了緩解時間與空間來掌握體位法，最後，這些苦痛將完全拔除。

「瑜伽練習本身不只是享受，更是有關”醒覺意識”的練習，”醒覺”：讓我們理解快樂與苦痛。」。

The asanas help us to develop greater tolerance in body and mind so that we can beat the stress and strain more easily.

Back bends , for example, allow us to see the courage and tenacity of people. Balancing asanas on the arms teach and cultivate tolerance. If you can adapt to and balance in a world that is always moving and unstable. you learn how to become tolerant to the permanence of change and difference.

Endurance is needed to remain in an asana. To master an asana, you need patience and discipline. The asana will not come by making faces.

We have already seen how one must create repose in the pose; one must create relaxation even as there is the right amount of tension. This relaxation can start by releasing the stress residing in the temples and in the cells of the brain. This de-stresses the load of the brain., by releasing the eyes and the temples. This is turn takes the stress load off the nerves and muscle fiber. That is how you can convert an unbearable pain into a bearable one, which allows you the time and space in which to eventually master the asana and eradicate the pain all together.

But practice is not just about pleasurable sensations. Ti is about awareness, and awareness leads us to notice and understand both the pleasure and the pain.
