In human beings, the power of detachment or the ability to witness one's activity is well developed. where as animals can only react to a stimuli or an inner urge. They can't think and act or improve themselves. They are reactive in their nature. The human consciousness can detach not only from the external environment, but also from inner thoughts and feelings. Thus there is a part that observes and one that is observed. This power of detachment accounts for reflective intelligence.   To exercise and improve this power of detachment or power of witnessing or power of observation is the chief aim of Venkats Yoga. Venkats Yoga aims at improving Physical and Mental awareness by repeatedly training you to pay attention to:   * Physical posture in various starting positions such as Standing, Sitting, Long sitting, Cross legged sitting, Lying down etc.., * Limb movements. * The internal pressure changes, due to difference in blood flow to various organs, while holding poses. * Various starting positions with respect to Gravitational force * Counter stretches * The weight distribution through balls of feet * Single leg weight bearing * Accessory movements of spinal joints * The Alignment of pelvic girdle during poses * Techniques that can augment a stretch * The movement of Rib cage during breathing exercises * Breathing exercises * The need to do different styles of breathing * Ten subtle nadis or Astral tubes * The mechanics of mind * Concentration and Meditation techniques       Biomechanics in Yoga   * Mechanics is a branch of science that deals with forces and the effects of forces, specifically the motion and de-formation of matter. Biomechanics is the application of mechanics to the human body. * During the practice of Yoga an individual's body goes through different positions such as sitting, standing, lying on the back, lying on the stomach. * Force transferred through the lower back, shoulders, neck, knees and hips are at times manifold the body weight of that person because of gravity and leverage. Hence during Yoga training it is better to adhere to the basics of Biomechanics. * Some practical applications of Biomechanics and Exercise therapy are:     * Keep your Knees bent when bending forward * Never Hyper-extend the back in standing * Keep the head up whenever bending forward * Don't overstrain the knees * Always start Yoga with some basic stretches
