It then summarizes the five sheaths of existence in yoga and how imbalances can lead to disease by disturbing the flow of prana or vital energy. Various yoga practices like pranayama, asana, relaxation, and meditation techniques are recommended to help reduce stress, clear the mind, and bring greater states of consciousness and bliss.
