Living Better through Yoga: Management of Body, Mind and Spirit

Most developmental biologists accept the need for a holistic or integrative conception. The yoga
system is holistic in that it takes into consideration, while discussing the well-being of an individual,
the human body, the human mind and even the human soul. Spiritual evolution is integrative process
and it can be achieve with simple, persistent approaches such as: Mantra, Yoga breathing exercises.
When breath wanders irregular, the mind is also unsteady, but when the breath is still, so is the mind.
Proper focus for fasting rejuvenates the body and makes the mind concentrated. A complete fast of
24 hours gives the body rest. Balanced diet such as Ayurveda believes in five great elements: earth,
water, fire, air and space, forming the universe, including the human body. Yogic breathing is that part
of Pranayama which attempts to control the physical manifestation of prana in the physical body.
