Asanas, capable of bringing about stability of body and mind ‘ kuryat-tad-asanam-sthairyam…’ , consists in adopting various body (psycho-physical) patterns, giving ability to maintain a body position (a stable awareness of one’s structural existence) for a considerable length and period of time as well.

PranayamPranayama involves in increasing awareness of one’s breathing and willful regulation of respiration as the functional or vital basis of one’s existence. it helps in increasing one’s awareness of one’s mind and establishing control over the mind. in the initial stages,

this is accomplished by increasing awareness of the ‘flow of in-breath and out-breath’ (svasa-prasvasa) through nostrils, mouth, and other body openings, its internal and external pathways, and destinations in the early stages.

Later, this phenomenan is modified by controlled, controlled, and monitored inhalation (svasa), resulting in the awareness of the body space/s being filled (puraka), the body space/s remaning in a filled state (kumbhaka), and it’s being emptied (rechaka) during regulated, controlled, and monitored exhalation (prasvasa).

Dharana refers to a broad based field of attetion (inside the body and mind), which is commonly referred to as concentration. Dhyana (Meditation) is contemplation (concentrated attention within the body and mind) and Samadhi (integration).

True Fundamentals of YOGA :

Yoga focuses on the level of one’s body, mind, emotions, and body. Hence, there are four main categories of Yoga: karma yoga, where we use the body; bhakti yoga, where we use the emotions; gyana yoga, where we use the mind and intelect; and kriya yoga, where we use the energy. Almost every form of Yoga we practice would fall under one or two of these categories.

Each individual is a unique combination of these four factors. “All the ancient commentaries on Yoga have emphasized that it is essential to work under the direction of a Guru,” the reason being that only a Guru can combine the appropriate combination of the four fundamental paths, as is required for each individual seeker, and then by the Seers (Rishis/Munis/Acharyas) in Ashramas (compared to monastries).
