Eight stages of Patanjal Yoga are : i. Yama : The universal moral laws. ii. Niyama : Personal moral roots of conduct. iii. Asan : Yogic postures. iv. Pranayama : Acquiring and controlling prana or energy, by means of the breath. v. Pratyahara : The withdrawl of the senses from the outer environment. vi. Dharana : Concentration. vii. Dhyana : Meditation. viii. Samadhi : Enlightenment. Yoga is also a technique for achieving purest form of selfawareness, devoid of all thoughts and sensations. Today some kind of reconstruction of thought is necessary to understand clearly what the great Yoga teachers of the past have taught. Patanjali, the systematiser of Yoga, has explained the thoughts through Yogasutra. In the Gita and Upanishads we find a broader and positive expression of Yoga. Our ancient masters through Yoga teach us an art of living a life for eternally blissful experiences of even flow of happiness by removal of miseries and sufferings of our limited life. The term Yoga means a systematic practice and implementation of mind and body in the living process of man to keep harmony with in self, within the society and with nature.Kundalini Yoga is a systematic and integrated practice for body and mind and its thrust to make a man creative. By a new method, which is wholly safe, one can get the Kundalini power aroused in minutes. Hence this method is called the simplified Kundalini Yoga, abbreviated to "SKY". Kayakalpa is the culmination of Kundalini Yoga and its objective is to enable the practitioner to postpone the ageing process and death. In all sky centers in India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and USA, Kayakalpa Yoga is now being taught at regular intervals. These two yogic practices are very important in karma Yoga, the world religion.
