Yoga postures: Yogic postures movements are designed in such a way that they work on more than one aspect of the body at a same time e.g. brain, spine, glands, internal organs, muscles etc. Its gentle squeezing action stimulate and increase blood supply to different parts with less effort and economy of time which really helps to rejuvenate and balance the mind and body. The different postures are Sun salutation, forward bending postures, backward bending postures, sideways bending postures, twisting postures, inverted, balancing and meditational postures which stimulate the flow of Prana / Chi throughout the body.
Yogic Breathing: The state of mind is directly connected to breathing. The quality of our breath influences the state of our mind and vice-versa. Yoga breathing techniques are called Pranayama which has cultivated and refined by the yogis over thousands of years not only alter the speed, rhythm and space of the breath but also alter the state of mind.Yogic Breathing techniques provide a regular supply of oxygenated blood to different parts of the body including the brain. Oxygenated blood is food for the brain. The brain uses at least 20% of the oxygen which is responsible for clarity, focus and creativity. Breathing practice balances the autonomic nervous system including both the left and right part of brain and provides the doorway to productive meditation. 
Relaxation Practice: Yoga Nidra which is called psychic sleep/ yogic sleep/ conscious deep sleep is probably the best most powerful known technique to induce complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. It is a science of relaxation which enables us to dive deep into the realms of sub-conscious mind thereby releasing all tensions. Yoga Nidra takes us through all four of our natural brainwave patterns. In a world of information overload, this practice offers us a haven of silence and return to stillness with rejuvenates the body and mind. It decreases our metabolism, rate of breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and prevents psychosomatic diseases.
Concentration practice: The Yoga of Sight (TRATAKA), a concentration practice helps to coordinate the impulses of the sensory and motor nerves, which assist in producing a state of calmness and tranquility. It is a very effective way of withdrawing from external stress, tension, distractions and allowing the brain to enter a relaxed and highly beneficial alpha state. 
Self Analysis: Self analysis which is called SWADHYAYA (study of self) is a systematic attempt by an individual to understand his or her own personality, emotions and behavior without the aid of another person. By developing the capability to distinguish within oneself good and bad tendencies, an individual is able to improve. Through self-analysis, it is possible for an individual to analyze what short-comings are impeding him/her. By working with self-analysis we will be able to shift our focus from blaming the factors that we cannot control to ourselves, ability to learn from mistakes, help us solve the ethical problems that abound in the workplace today and handle pressure better.
Meditation: Meditation is a means of transforming the mind. Meditation involves achieving a state of 'thoughtless awareness' in which the excessive stress producing activity of the mind is neutralized without reducing alertness and effectiveness. Research has scientifically proven that meditation is a safe and simple way to balance our physical, emotional, and mental state. Meditation is an approach that anyone can use to help them cope with medical problems, stress and anxiety.
