Find a quiet retreat for the practice of Yoga, sheltered from the wind, level and clean, free from rubbish and ugliness, and where the sound of waters and the beauty of the place help thought and contemplation.

With upright body, head and neck lead the mind and its powers into the heart; and when the body is in silent steadiness, breathe rhythmically through the nostrils with a peaceful ebbing and flowing of breath. The chariot of the mind is drawn by wild horses, and those wild horses have to be tamed.
