These are asanas. Asanas are used with pranayamas(breathing techniches) and other yoga practices to balance mind and body. They are practiced to improve the body's physical health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation in the pursuit of enlightenment.

dbadmus its puts you into a deep state of relaxtion that you have to experience to understand. Also it makes ure body extremely comfortable which brings you into the present moment, instead of holding in lots of tension and thought. Try doing it.

Beside, the udhyana banda practice (including the way he gets in Padmasana) is awesome. I know very few practionners working anywhere near that level. If you can't see that, you probably shouldn't be posting comments on it.

This is an extract from an original 1938 film (there's also some footage of Iyengar in it, looking quite young)
