Drsti means gazing point. There are 9 drsti in the asana practice. If drsti is too difficult, one may always revert to nasagra drsti. Drsti improves concentration, with the gaze focus in one place during our practice, we can be more present in our postures.

This focus and awareness can carry over into our daily life.
