Yoga is a discipline of self-awareness that helps the parctioner to integrate the body and the mind. By harmonizing the two, yoga helps to manage negative and unconstructive thought patterns and assist the mind to work with, rather than against, the body. Hath yoga teaches ways of physical discipline of the body through postures asanas and breathing exercises known as Pranayam.

According to Patanjali, yoga brings about the suspension of the mind’s waves vrittis, resulting in mindfulness, which means the ability to pay attention to your life, experiencing what is happening around and within you, rather than being consumed by internal mental convolutions while life passes you by. To achieve this Patanjali advocates practice abhayas and non attachment vairag. It does not mean abandonment of all worldly goods, rather relinquishment of assumptions about yourself and the world.
