The wisdom of yoga can be summarized into six
points:
- Exercise (asanas) - The practice of different physical
postures.
- Energizing - (pranayama) - Energizing that is produced
as a result of practicing the different yogic techniques.
- Relaxation (shavasana) - Different practices that lead
to relieving tension and to creating the appropriate situation for
deep relaxation and rest on the physical, mental and spiritual
levels.
- Proper nutrition - (prasadam) - To eat only vegetarian
food that was first offered to The Divine, and to abstain from
eating meat, eggs and fish, as well as to abstain from taking all
kinds of intoxicants, including coffee and cigarettes.
- Universal vision - (vedanta) - To try to understand
that behind the world of names and forms lies one nature, one
reality, for that it is important to study the Advaita
Vedanta philosophy, which has a very important place in
Hinduism.
- Meditation - (dhyana) - Meditation is when the
observer himself becomes the observed.
