ABSTRACT

The effects of yoga postures on psychological illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, on pain syndromes, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and immunological conditions, as well as on pregnancy, are reviewed in this study based on recent research. The physiological consequences of yoga, such as lower blood pressure and heart rate, as well as the physical effects, such as weight loss and improved muscle mass, are also discussed. Because yoga has been examined in many populations addressing a wide range of different disorders and conditions, this paper gives information about its therapeutic effects. Yoga postures and practises are used in therapeutic yoga to treat medical disorders. It also involves receiving education in yogic teachings and practises to prevent, lessen, or eliminate limits caused by structural, physiological, emotional, or spiritual pain. According to the study's findings, yoga improves a number of bodily functions, including muscular strength and flexibility, respiratory and cardiovascular health, addiction treatment and recovery, stress reduction, chronic pain management, and sleep quality. It also reduces anxiety and depressive symptoms.
