Yoga an ancient art of right living has now been developed as a separate medical science. Maharshi Patanjali propounded it in a systematic form, which consists of eight components namely restraint, observance of austerity, physical postures, breathing exercises, restraining of sense organs, contemplation, meditation and Samadhi. These steps in the practice of yoga have potential in improvement of social behaviour, improvement of physical health, and thereby inducing tranquillity and serenity to the mind. The practice of yoga prevents psychosomatic disorders/diseases and improve individual’s resistance and ability to endure stressful situations. It improves the intelligence and memory and develops an integrated psychosomatic personality. Meditation can stabilize emotional changes and prevent abnormal functions of vital organs of the body and control the autonomic nervous system.
