Abstract

Traditional antidepressant pharmacotherapies or psychotherapies have been related to low remission rates or poor treatment adherence. Even though there is extensive study on the issue, yoga might have been an alternate therapeutic approach. This randomized controlled study utilised confused outcome assessors to look at an 8-week hatha yoga meditation program as a monotherapy for mild to moderate suffering. This article examines recent research on the effects of yoga postures on mental concerns like stress and sadness, psychological disorders, immune system, cardiovascular, or immunological illnesses, and pregnancy. Yoga's physiological benefits, such as reduced heart rate and blood pressure, as well as its physical consequences, such as weight reduction and improved muscular strength, are also discussed. Finally, possible underlying processes are suggested, such as pressure receptor activation leading to increased vagal activity and lower cortisol. Cortisol decrease may lead to beneficial outcomes like improved immunological function and a reduced incidence of preterm.
