1- correct breathing .. Breathing is considered in yoga as a bridge between the mind and the body. Correct breathing requires both increasing the depth of breathing, and being in conscious control of the breath.
2- complete relaxation– a state of true relaxation is defined in yoga as existing when the body consumes the minimum amount of energy required to exist. Physical relaxation requires loosening areas of muscle tension (by massage sometimes); mental relaxation involves quieting the mind by using breathing techniques.
3- balanced diet – the rule is to eat in moderation, only when hungry, taking time to chew food properly, and eating at set times every day.
4- positive thinking – yoga uses mediation and relaxation to clear the mind, and employs positive affirmations to boost self-esteem.
