ABSTRACT
Yoga is widely practiced as a way to plug physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being, while kind of studies has documented the
efficacy of yoga for functioning in healthy individuals and people experiencing illness or pain. We propose an analog between the physical,
psychological, and spiritual effects of the practice of yoga in students behavior. Physical systems activated through yoga practice include
musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, autonomic system nervosum, and endocrine functioning. Psychological benefits include enhanced coping,
self-efficacy, and positive mood. Spiritual mechanisms which may be understood within a Western medical model include acceptance and
mindful awareness. We present empirical evidence that supports the involvement of those domains. However, additional well-conducted
research is required to further establish the efficacy of yoga for health states and to know how posture, breath, and meditative activity affect
the body, mind, and spirit. In this study, we are mainly concerned with secondary data for the evaluation of yoga’s influence on students.

Western world often denotes a modern form of hatha yoga
and yoga as exercise, consisting largely of the postures called
asanas.
The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to
pre-Vedic Indian traditions, possibly in the Indus valley
civilization around 3000 BCE. It is mentioned in the Rig-Veda,

5th and 6th centuries BCE, in ancient India ascetic and śramaṇa
movements The chronology of earliest texts describing
yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Upanishads.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali go back to the 2nd century BCE
and gained prominence within the west within the 20th century
after being first introduced by Swami Vivekananda. Hatha yoga
texts emerged sometimes between the 9th and 11th centuries
with origins in tantra.
Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the West,
following the success of Swami Vivekananda within the late
19th and early 20th century together with his adaptation of yoga
tradition, excluding asanas. Outside India, it is developed into
a posture-based fitness, stress-relief, and relaxation technique.

orthodox schools of Hinduism is additionally called yoga,
which has its own epistemology, ontology, and metaphysics
and is closely associated with Hindu Samkhya philosophy.
