All these techniques have been known and practiced by the Yogis for millennia, is that where Hof gained his training?

The body does not train the mind, however. You must make the mental determination to get the body trained before it will have any effect on the mind. Thus, training the mind first becomes essential. Hof would not have undertaken any of this physical training if it weren't for his mental preparation. That preparation cannot be discounted regarding the time it takes for benefits to appear.
