When going into a posture (Asana) attention should be on the alignment of your body. Be aware of the foundation, the point of extension and the point of resistance so that maximum benefit is gained.

Move into the posture slowly and pay attention to your movements so you can feel your body's limits. There should be sensation but NO PAIN. Be attentive to how your body is responding and come out of the posture slowly so as to avoid injury. Repeat the posture 1-3 times. As your body becomes stronger and more flexible hold the posture for up to 6 to 10 breaths. Breathing should be a slow, normal breath. Breathe in and out through your nose. The breath helps to move the body.
