Abstract

A COMPARATIVE REVIEW ON IMPACT OF YOGA AND PHYSICAL EXERCISE ON HEALTH

Dr. Naveen Gautam*, Dr. Chavan Ramdas Dhanaji and Dr. Karan Chugh

ABSTRACT

Yoga is a comprehensive spiritual instrument that has many advantages, including bettering health and wellbeing. Asanas (physical postures), pranayama (controlled breathing), and meditation are yoga practises that are frequently used for their health benefits. Yoga may be mistakenly thought of as another form of physical exercise because, when viewed in the context of asanas, it mimics physical exercise more closely. In terms of principles, potential mechanisms, and efficacy for health benefits, this article explores the similarities and contrasts between yoga and physical activity. A narrative review is conducted using both classic and modern yoga literature, as well as scientific articles on yoga and exercise that are currently available. There are many similarities between physical activities and the physical aspects of yoga practises, but there are also significant variances. Yoga therapies appear to be comparable to and/or superior to exercise in most outcome measures, according to the evidence. Yoga techniques differ from physical workouts in a number of ways, including an emphasis on maintaining postures, controlling breath, and practising with mindfulness.
