Yoga is being practiced by the human diaspora since time immemorial in its

diverse hues and forms. Contemporary scientific literatures are replete with evidences

to evince the role of yoga on the wholesome benefits on human mind and body.

As the plethora of evidence based studies are staggering to unravel the

unequivocal benefits of yoga in either alleviating certain illnesses or as an adjunct

therapeutic modality for chronic diseases, we consider that it is the time to delve into

this ever emerging issue and take a leadership role in spreading awareness.
