<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn recent years, life has been moving at an increasingly quick speed and we can see the changes in the world around us when we pay close attention. A more attractive environment created illness, which created increased environmental pollutants, psychosocial disorders, altered food patterns, and a poor diet. Our health is being negatively impacted by the culture that we are following and the high levels of stress. Yoga is now being embraced by many individuals as a remedy to these changes ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. Yoga has been practised for ages and represents the idea of a healthy way of life. It has recently grown in popularity throughout the world and is now recognized as an alternative medicine approach. Yuj, which indicates union in Sanskrit, is where the word \u201cyoga\u201d comes from. It represents the fusion of personal consciousness (jee-vatma) with cosmic knowledge (Paramatma). It might ultimately lead to a state of bodily and mental health}^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
