It is certainly possible to get so caught up in the pursuit of physical perfection that we lose sight of the "purpose" of asana practice: the state of samadhi. At the same time, however, exploring the limits of body flexibility can be a perfect way to develop concentration at one point necessary for the "inner limbs" of classical yoga.

Some yogis are already enthusiastically embracing this synthesis. At the Meridian Stretching Center in Boston, Massachusetts, Bob Cooley develops and tests a computer program that can diagnose flexibility deficits and prescribe asanas. New customers at Cooley's Stretch Center are asked to adopt 16 different yoga poses, as Cooley captures specific anatomical landmarks on their bodies with a digitizer wand, similar to the one used in computer-aided drawing. These body point measurements are calculated to make comparisons between the client and the average and maximum human flexibility models. The computer program generates a report that compares and guides the client's progress, describes areas for improvement and recommends specific asanas.
