Role and Effects of yoga in modern life style

By Rajendra Kashinath Nikumbh

Yoga is one of the six foundations of Indian philosophy and has been used for

millennia to study, explain, and experience the complexities of the mind and human

existence.

Stress tends to be either ignored or dismissed by the very people who are best

placed to do something about it - managing and senior directors, personnel and

training managers, occupational health workers, and departmental managers and

supervisors. The opportunity exists for employers and employees to get together and

make way for changes that will reduce stress related illness.

Patanjali's Yoga sutras outline a skillful way of conducting life that fosters moderation

and harmony. The Yoga way of life encompasses the philosophy of Karma Yoga

(path of detached action), Jnana Yoga (knowledge of self), Bhakti Yoga (trust in the

supreme order) and Raja Yoga (asana, pranayama, meditation, etc). The various

meditation techniques work at the mental level, all these practices are intended to

develop a certain type of awareness within oneself which in turn brings about a

change in their emotional functions.

Many researchers have noted the benefits of exercise in diminishing the stress

response. Yoga has been recommended and studied in relationship to stress,

although the studies are less scientifically replicable. Nonetheless, several

researchers claim highly beneficial results from Yoga practice in alleviating stress

and its effects.
