What is yoga ?
• Yoga is an ancient discipline designed to bring balance and health to the physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual dimensions of the individual. Yoga is often depicted metaphorically as a tree and comprises
eight aspects, or ‘‘limbs:’’ yama , niyama , asana , pranayama , pratyahara , dharana , dyana , and
samadhi From a conceptual point of view, the eight limbs of Patanjali yoga clearly signify a hierarchical
pattern of developing consciousness from gross to a subtle level in a systematic manner. Yama, Niyama-
Behavioral level Asana, Pranayama-Physical level Pratyahara, Dharana- Mental level Dyana, Samadhi -
Spiritual level. So, the concept of yoga has been fabricated with the idea of achieving peace rather than
health alone unlike exercise . The word “yoga” comes from a Sanskrit root yuj which means union, or
yoke, to join, and to direct and concentrate one’s attention . 3,000 year old tradition, yoga, is now
regarded in the Western world as a holistic approach to health and is classified by the National Institutes
of Health as a form of Complementary and Alternative Medicine . Regular practice of yoga promotes
strength, endurance, flexibility and facilitates characteristics of friendliness, compassion, and greater self-
control, while cultivating a sense of calmness and well-being . Yoga therapy is the two fold therapeutic
system that prevents and cures various diseases through practice of yoga. Yoga concentrates on
purification of body and mind, through this integrated holistic approach one can overcome almost all
kinds of afflictions in life. It is a kind of low-impact physical exercise, and is used for therapeutic
purposes.

of other chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, cancer , obesity, hypertension, bone and
