Modern principles
Yoga evolves with all beings. A great deal of new principles have been incorporated into the
practice of yoga in recent times. Modern yoga is based on these four basic principles.
1st principle: Human bodies consist of many interrelated dimensions that cannot be separated
from each other, affecting one another as a whole.
2nd Principle: Every person and their needs are unique, so their care must be tailored
accordingly to acknowledge their individuality.
3rd Principle: Students are responsible for their own healing. As the student plays an active role
in their journey toward health, yoga promotes healing from within instead of from outside, and
a greater sense of independence is achieved.
4th Principle: Healing is dependent on an individual's mental state. Positive minds heal faster,
whereas negative minds may take longer to heal.
Besides being a way of life, it is also a practical science based on five principles:
1. Exercising properly (Asanas)
2. Breathing correctly (Pranayama)
3. Relaxation is essential.
4. Nutrition and diet are important
