The world is aware of the importance of yoga. With the present clinical observation, we can confidently say that incorporating a yogic way of life can help keep away autoimmune, gastrointestinal, endocrine and neurological issues.

Most noncommunicable diseases that have become a part of the modern-day lifestyle, like diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and dyslipidemia, can be warded off to a great extent through preventive yoga protocols.

Yoga in Ayurveda

Ayurveda basically defines life as the Samyogam (ideal union) of Shareera (the physical body), Indriya (the sensory system), Satva (the mind), and Atma (the consciousness). The different formulations prescribed for various clinical conditions are again yogam of different herbal contents. Similarly, Ayurveda seeks for everyone to be yogis in terms of existence with the union of one's manas and deham with aatma. To be healthy, the basic need has to be prasanna atma, indriya and manas, which translates into having a pleasant experience with ourselves.
