Yoga on HealthAbstract
This research paper delves into the significance of Yoga as a holistic health practice, particularly focusing on individuals aged 30 to 60 years residing in New Delhi. The growing interest in alternative health approaches has positioned Yoga not just as a physical activity but also as a means to achieve mental and emotional well-being. By investigating the various dimensions of Yoga, this study aims to illustrate its relevance and efficacy in promoting a healthier lifestyle among participants. The present paper focuses on studying the relevance of Yoga on health among normal healthy volunteers aged between 30 and 60 years residing in New Delhi. The increasing interest in holistic health approaches and lifestyle modifications in recent years has brought Yoga to the forefront of wellness and health discussions (Cramer et al., 2013). With its ancient roots steeped in Indian philosophy and practice, Yoga extends beyond physical postures and entails aspects such as meditation, breathing exercises, and ethical guidelines (Desikachar, 1995). Traditionally viewed as a spiritual or philosophical discipline, Yoga has increasingly been recognized for its physiological, psychological, and emotional benefits, making it a prominent subject of research in the field of health sciences (Khalsa, 2015).
