To practice yoga, one should go to a secluded place and should lay kusha grass on the ground and then cover it with a deerskin and a soft cloth. The seat should be neither too high nor too low and should be situated in a sacred place.

The first practical instruction: prepare a firm, stable seat (asana) in a clean and quiet place — neither too high nor too low. Even the physical setup of meditation matters; a stable seat supports a stable mind.
