Devotional worship and the choice to conduct one's life should be honored. Bhakti Yoga involves keeping the body scrupulously clean and eating sattvic food. Bhakti is also expressed in cheerfulness. In Yoga it is said that the cheerful mind can equip difficulties. The state of mind to aim Bhakti is of equilibrium.
Worship is the only first step on path of devotion.
Therefore to approach God by love is to prepare oneself for the greatest possible spiritual fulfillment. Yoga of Bhakti is a matter of the Heart and not of the Head. Hatha yoga strives to balance these two elements which represent the masculine and feminine, strength and flexibility. It is concerned with physical and mental purification and training. The ancient asana postures are skillful, conscious movements of the body and breath that are based on biomechanical and physiological principles.
