The science of Yoga is based on five main principles. These principles are:
- Proper Relaxation releases tensions in your muscles and provides rest to your whole body and mind system. So you feel as refreshed as after a good night's sleep. It carries over into all your activities and teaches you to conserve your energy and let go of all your worries or fears.
- Proper Exercise is given by the Yoga postures or asanas, which work systematically on all parts of your body. They stretch and tone the muscles and ligaments, keep the spine and joints flexible and improve the circulation.
- Proper Breathing means breathing fully and rhythmically, making use of your lungs to increase your intake of oxygen. Yoga breathing exercises or pranayama teach you how to recharge your body and control your mind by regulating the flow of prana -- the life force.
- Proper Diet means one that is nourishing and well-balanced, based on natural foods. It keeps the body light and supple and the mind calm, giving high resistance to disease.
- Positive Thinking and Meditation help you to remove negative thoughts and still the mind, ultimately transcending all thoughts.
