In motion, the outer mind is active, whereas if you hold the asana-s for a longer period of time, the outer mind is automatically made to move to touch the inner mind and through that inner mind, one is made to reach the consciousness and the Self.

Your mind is like a spoiled rich kid! You have raised it to think whatever it wants, whenever it wants to and for however long, with no regard for consequences or gratitude....So when a thought arises, just watch it,; don't react to it.
"Oh I really want ice cream"...that's nice, see what it's like to want something but not always get it.
