It included a theoretical part dealing with the history and philosophy of yoga, an explanation of the basic parts of yoga methodology, a holistic yoga concept of man and his body, and parts dealing with the health aspects of yoga and Ayurveda, which is a sister discipline of yoga from the perspective of health and vitality care. The lectures were accompanied by practical lessons based on calmer, gentler practice with an emphasis on the principles of healthy movement, releasing and removing any tension in the body and mind, softening the breath, and focusing inward on one's own body. Breathing, relaxation, and concentration techniques were included. Each practical lesson focused on a specific topic.
