Mind-Body Stability
The purpose of asana and pranayama practices is to bring inner and outer stability. It conserves energy, refines focus and prepares you for inward journey.

Sensitivity to Breath
This is the simplest way to bring turbulent mind under control as breath happens in present. It is the first portal to the inner divine world.
05

Perform your actions like a flowing river, with no fruits in mind. It cultivates the wisdom of involvement without bondage.
