Importance of Ashtanga Yoga in Physical Education and Mental Health

Yoga is assuming importance in improving mental and physical health in the treatment of several lifestyle disorders and diseases. The latest study was a brief lifestyle intervention, based on yoga, on subjective well-being levels that is mental or physical. Normal healthy individuals and subjects having hypertension and a variety of other illnesses were included. The inventory consists of questions related to one’s feelings and attitude about various areas of life, that is happiness, achievement, and interpersonal relationship. These observations suggest that a short lifestyle modification and stress management educational program leads to remarkable improvement in subjective well-being. In today's time, the common reason for any disease is a mental imbalance, due to which a person sees it as discomfort or disease at the physical level. The most common health disorders prevalent today are first on the mental and then after on the physical level. Yoga when we adopt it as a way of life does a lot for people suffering from stress-induced psychosomatic lifestyle disorders like silent killers, also yoga teaches us the art of leading a supreme and healthy life. Many studies have shown the potential of Yoga as an effective preventive measure as well as an adjunct therapy for all types of physical and mental disorders.
