The Last Word
Yogic Practice is an exercise in self-discipline. 'Discipline' is best explained by this quotation, written by an author who prefers anonymity, " Discipline is, to do the things you don't want to do, when you know you need to do them."
Asanas are simple to practice, which is followed by pranayama and meditation. Yogis say that when breath is controlled and becomes rhythmic, one can enjoy the gift of health. The body is made of vital current or prana. The prana is also called the life force. The body is sustained by the flow of prana into all the body parts. When one does breathing exercises, or pranayama, the prana is regulated and the body is suffused with increased energy level. The prana currents help to cure diseases and set in healing vibrations. This enables the body to heal itself.
Finally, bear in mind that asanas should be practiced with ease, devoid of any tension. One must be conscious of the body movements during practice. The relaxed movements induce calmness and peace. Yoga Bhashya states, ' The posture becomes perfect when the effort of achieving it vanishes.'
