PRANAYAMA The yogic breathing techniques
Pranayama means the regulation of breath. Breath and mind are closely related. If one can control the breath, one can control the mind and visa versa. Pranayama gives steadiness and lightness to the body and calmness to the mind.

Mudra The Yogic Gestures
Mudras are gestures or signs in yoga using the fingers, hands, eyes or other parts of the body to channelize the energy in a certain way. The channeling of energy can be used either to attain a higher state of consciousness or can be directed towards the body and mind for healing and curing various diseases. The channeling is achieved by using various gestures of the hands, fingers, eyes, etc. In some of the mudras, ‘Bandhas’ or pranic locks are also used to direct the energy.
