Abstract

Acharya Sushrut says if a person’s Dosha, Dhatu, Agni, Mala are in equilibrium state and his Atma, Indriya, Mana all are in a pleasant state, a person is healthy. This is the complete concept of health. Many Acharya considers that Moksha is the extreme level of being healthy. Ayurveda tells the Naishthiki Chikitsa for achieving this extreme level. Yogshastraaims for the same as the Charaka says that “Yoge Moksh Pravartakah”. The Yoga is ‘to combine’ / ‘to join’/ ‘to yoke’ and it may be the combination of physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual aspects of a human being or the meeting of Jeevatma with Parmatma. According to the Upnishad, Yoga is the extreme level related to quieting of all the flatulations from the consciousness and control over the senses.

Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. Now, these days women handle many pressures regarding personal, professional and social life, so because of this pressure and busy schedule they can’t focus well on their own health and ultimately faces serious health issues like heart disease, breast cancer, PCOD, depression, osteoporosis, etc. Because of the unhealthy lifestyle, the women face multiple complications during her delivery. There is much effective Yoga that can save women from all their sufferings. This paper is going to highlight some Yoga that is beneficial for aiming healthy women, for normal delivery and for recovery from some health issues.
