science monitor), we have shown that the practice of cyclic<br />

medication twice in the day increases what is called deep sleep<br />

or slow wave sleep in the night. There are lots of reasons here<br />

why one should practice āsanas? Why one should practice<br />

prāṇāyāma techniques particularly the three that are mentioned<br />

above; special emphasis being on cyclic meditation.<br />

Meditation is the philosophical component. Yoga cannot<br />

be considered in isolation as only physical postures or only<br />

breathing or only meditation. We need to have a certain attitude<br />

of mind for yoga to be complete. Yoga is after all a way<br />

postures breathing techniques, meditation and all that at the<br />
