Abstract

Yoga is the art and science of living, and is concerned with the evolution of mind and body. Therefore, yoga incorporates a system of disciplines for furthering an integrated development of all aspects of the individual. When we start the disciplines of yoga we usually begin with the outermost element of the physical personality, the physical body. Yoga is an ancient and complex practice that has its roots in Indian philosophy. Although it started out as a spiritual practice, it has gained popularity as a means of fostering both physical and mental wellbeing. Although there are other components to classical yoga, shatkarma, Asanas, mudra, pranayama, lifestyle, dietary approach and Dhyana are typically the main focuses of yoga as it is practiced from ancient times to modern times. Yoga can be practiced in a variety of ways, from relaxing poses to strenuous ones. The outcomes of studies may be impacted by variations in the types of yoga utilized in those studies. This makes it difficult to assess research on yoga's health benefits. Still researches are conducting and hence found by the researchers that yoga can be a part of rehabilitation in treatment of injuries.
