Daily yoga practice of 30 minutes, even twice a day, can help improve flexibility, strength, and control over the body and senses. Choosing a comfortable meditation posture is important, such as full lotus or siddha'sana, and maintaining the posture while withdrawing from the senses. A lacto-vegetarian and alkaline diet along with regular fasting, such as twice monthly according to the moon cycle, can aid purity and control to complement the yoga practice.
