Asana (Stretches)
Asana or Yogasana teaches different poses. Before training the mind, it becomes necessary to train the body to behave the way one wants it to. If body is sick or not in shape then mind is naturally not going to be co-operative. Moreover, asanas help reduce accumulated stress in the body. This teaches a life-long skill of how to destress and get energized quickly.
Pranayama (Breathing techniques)

A fast-paced breathing is associated with fear, discomfort or anger while a long breath signifies a sigh of relief. By controlling the breath, we control our emotions and how we think. Several techniques to breathing shall be taught in this course.

Power of Words
