Asana are the 84 yogic postures,mistakenly reffered to as 'yoga' in the west. Asana is just the third limb of the yog. An asana is mastered when a practitioner can remain quite comfortable in that posture. -yogdarshan(2/46).
As cited earlier ,just by mastering a few orall 84 asana a does not make a yogi . he needs to practice all the factors of Yam and Niyam,prior to practicing asana, as well as those that follow it.
A few practical rituals which automatically incorporate several asans in the daily life of the bhakta are: padmasan(lotus posture) and surya namaskar in the form of the dandvat pranams in the morning puja.
