    The document discusses different types of mechanoreceptors in the body - fast signal mechanoreceptors responsible for balance and safety located in the skeleton and muscles, and slow signal mechanoreceptors responsible for homeostasis located in internal organs. It explains that proprioception provides awareness of where the body is in space, while introception provides awareness of how the body feels. Practicing yoga can benefit proprioception and introception, leading to embodiment, better management of emotions, and potentially mastering control over internal processes like heart rate and temperature.
