[MD] Mind-body practice

[Akshay Peshwe]

By the way, diet disciplines are a must. Also, Hatha Yoga can be learnt by

need an instructor if you can decipher Sanskrit minimally.

The disciplines mentioned by Patanjali in chapter 2 of his Yoga Sutra are
what every student of Yoga must practise no matter what.
