Sutra Yoga's essence is its emphasis upon 'nonduality and nonduality of consciousness. Sutra Yoga identifies three categories of human consciousness: Purusha Prakriti, Kaivalya and Prakriti. The first category is referred to as 'unceasing vision of discernment.' The next category is "nonduality". This category comprises both the internal and external nature of the individual.
Purusha
In sutra yoga, the purusha (god) is called Ishwara and is the one who is separate from the five afflictions, three kinds of actions, and seeds of karmas. We live in both favourable and negative circumstances throughout our lives and accumulate new traces from past actions. These tendencies must be reversed if we want to break the cycle of our birth.
Prakriti
Prakriti in Sutra yoga is the reflected consciousness the Purusha. The individual's mind is a monad that resides within the prakriti. Prakriti, the source of all things, including the mind and body, is the source of all that is possible. This life monad represents the three Gunas. The first Guna (or quality) is karma; the last Guna (or quality) is dharma.
Kaivalya
The aim of Raja Yoga is to bring individual souls to kaivalyam, a state of ultimate enlightenment. During this process, Patanjali enlightens individual souls about the true nature of Shiva and enables them to undergo radical transformations. Higher consciousness replaces the ordinary human nature that is driven by the natural forces. During this process, the human mind reels with the immense Reality.
Unceasing vision of discernment
Yoga refers to an unceasing vision of discernment. It purifies the sevenfolds of impurity, and brings light to true knowledge. This is the culmination all restraints, observances and posture. It also includes sense withdrawal, sense withdrawal, sense withdrawal, and breath control. Sevenfold manifestations of prajna are possible in the final stage.
Vairagya
The stages of Vairagya are well-described in the yoga sutras. Vairagya can be promoted by being still and silent. The yoga sutras provide guidance for practitioners on how to apply their yoga knowledge into real life situations. They must carry the lessons from the yoga sutras. It is essential that students practice yoga with an open mind, so they can reap the benefits from life's experience and knowledge.
Asana
Sutra Yoga asana (or a set postures) is taught in Hinduism. It combines both the ease and effort. Asanas, in addition to being very relaxing, allow the practitioner achieve deep meditation. Even though asanas may be hard to perform, a yoga practitioner should do them with "angry determination".

There is no one right way to do yoga. Everybody is unique. You just need to identify which positions are most comfortable.
Here are some examples of common postures:
For beginners, standing poses are a good choice because you can see your body from various angles. It is also easier to focus on your breathing with these poses.
Forward bends – Forward bends can be used to loosen tight areas in the body. These can be done while you are sitting or lying down.
Backbends-Backbends are generally considered advanced poses. Ask your instructor for advice if you're interested in trying it.
