·       Concentration / Meditation practices

·       Subtle energy – the Pranic Body including the Koshas and Chakras

·       Mantra

·       Relaxation techniques

·       The history and paths of yoga

·       Yoga philosophy and dip into the key texts such as The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and The Bhagavad Gita
