    Introduction

    Overview

    Yoga is a healthy way of life, originated in India. Now it is believed to be a form of science accepted all over the world. The western culture also is accepting it as a healthy form of scientific exercise. Although the origin of yoga is obscure, it has a long tradition. In course of time, various schools of yoga developed. The major schools of yoga are Jnana yoga, Bhakti yoga, Karma yoga and Raja yoga. These schools of yoga advocate particular type of methodology which includes a variety of systematised practices of yoga depending on their particular approach.

As means, yoga includes various practices and techniques which are employed to achieve the development of such integration. These practices and techniques are means in the yogic literature and are also referred collectively as 'Yoga'.

    Importance of Yoga

    Good Health is the right of every human being. But this right depends on individual, social and environmental factors. Along with social or environmental factors to a large extent, we can develop a better immune system and a better perception of oneself so that other conditions do not affect us adversely and we can achieve good health.
