Asana:
it would be the third way, it would be the Sanskrit for the postures that give movement to the body, it allows the transformation of the body, in which the energy will no longer encounter obstacles to move freely. In addition, its dominance leads to the suppression of intellectual activity, paving the way for acquiring a high degree of awareness. the postures provide stretching, tone, expand self-knowledge and have action under the joints and the nervous system. Soon, the duality of body and mind, disappears.

Pranayama (Vital Force Control)
It is the fourth stage of yoga and refers to the expansion of vital energy through breath control. It requires four stages: inhaling, keeping your lungs full of air, exhaling and remaining empty for a while. These breathing exercises strengthen the nervous system and harmonize thoughts, emotions and attitudes, making them more harmonious and balanced.

Pratyahara
Closely associated with the last two stages of the system proposed by Patanjali, it represents a transition between the external aspects of yoga (yama, niyama, asana and pranayama) and the internal aspects (dharana, dhyana and samadhi). This stage seeks to free the mind from external stimuli to immerse it in meditation.
Mula Bandha
Mule means root, seal, foundation, origin and bandha means seal. It receives this name because it is at the base of the spinal column. Its location is different in men and women - in men it is in the musculature of the perineum, located in front of the anus and behind the genitals.
It consists of pressing the perineum with the heel and contracting the anal sphincters to raise the apana. Through the contraction of the muladhara, the current of prana, which normally flows downwards, is forced to rise (by sushumna). Yogis call these exercises a mule bandha.
Press the perineum and push hard repeatedly until the apana rises.
