Abstract
Yoga is widely practiced as a means to promote physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. While a number of studies have documented the efficacy of yoga for functioning in healthy individuals and those experiencing illness or pain, bio-psychosocial effects have not been detailed. We propose an analogue between the physical, psychological and spiritual effects of practice as support in yoga traditions, and the bio-psychosocial model of health.

Summary
Yoga is widely practiced as a means to promote physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. We propose an analogue between the physical, psychological and spiritual effects of practice as support in yoga traditions, and the bio-psychosocial model of health. To this end, we present a review and conceptual model of the potential bio-psychosocial benefits of yoga, which may provide clues regarding the possible mechanisms of action of yoga upon well-being. Perhaps, is that yoga offers natural therapy for high blood pressure as well. Numerous studies show that yoga therapy can be a great remedy for high blood pressure, with results showing up in as little as twelve weeks.
