‎“When most people think about yoga they think Hatha Yoga, the stretching. To me ‎that’s the least interesting aspect of yoga. It’s useful, but it’s a starting point. What ‎yoga is really about is transformation. It’s about transforming our life, rediscovering ‎inner sources of peace and joy and well-being, transcending the sense that we’re just ‎separate. On one level we are we and I’m me; on another level, we’re part of something ‎larger that connects us. “

A growing body of research supports the belief that yoga may improve physical and mental ‎health through down‐regulation of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and ‎the sympathetic nervous system. (The flight or fight response)‎. Yoga is now acknowledged as a holistic form of exercise, and people throughout the world practice ‎various forms of yoga. Each form has its own significance and benefits in improving a person's ‎physical and mental well being.‎

‎Yoga can also specifically improve heart health and prevent heart disease. Yoga can ‎increase lung capacity, thereby improving respiratory function while decreasing blood ‎pressure, cholesterol and heart rate.‎ Yoga increases body awareness, relieves stress, reduces muscle tension, strain, and inflammation, ‎sharpens attention and concentration, and calms and centres the nervous ‎system. Yoga's positive benefits on mental health have made it an important practice tool of ‎psychotherapy (American Psychological Association).‎
