Yoga is the science of being.
Ancient yogis realized that the way we think is the way we feel.
When our mind is under tension, the body is also under tension.
Yogasanas were designed to relax the body, and in turn the mind.
They also observed that the way we breathe is the way we think.
Pranayama (Breath Control) were designed as a tool to relax the mind.
Yogis selected their diet that does not induce inertia in the system.
They did not overeat, neither did they starve.
They did not oversleep, neither were they deprived of sleep.
Mediation was a tool to observed the body and mind.
Meditation was not done to analyze the mind, but to observe the mind.
In order to analyze, you need to use the mind.
Meditation is a state of non-judgemental awareness.
Over time meditation creates a space between you and the mind & you and the body.
Western world sees yoga a stretching regimen alone.
It is the highest form of subjective technology to create a state of inner wellbeing.
