Abstract


Yoga has gained popularity as a form of exercise and relaxation technique in recent years, and its benefits for physical and mental health have been widely recognized. This research paper explores the different types of Yoga that can be used for improving physical and mental health, including the effects on cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal function, stress reduction, and emotional well-being. The paper provides an overview of the theoretical and practical foundations of yoga, the scientific evidence for its health benefits, and the challenges and limitations associated with its use. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for the promotion of yoga as a complementary therapy for improving health and well-being.
