At one time these two arts were the very center of yoga practice. To be able to control prana, for health, healing, longevity, and even out of body experience was the foundation of yoga practice. To control the senses (Pratyahara) was so synonymous with yoga that in the Upanisads yoga was defined as restraining the senses.
