Abstract: Yoga has many benefits including improvement in physical and mental health. Yoga strengthens muscles, increases flexibility, and helps reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, yoga can help improve heart health, reduce blood pressure, and improve digestion. Yoga helps develop skills. Lord Krishna, the exponent of Yoga, has said in the Bhagavad Gita: Yoga is efficiency in Karma. Yoga is not just a physical exercise but an indicator of how efficiently you can communicate and work under any circumstances. Creativity, intuition, skill and better communication – all these are the effects of Yoga. Yoga always promotes harmony in diversity. Silence and peace within you are the mother of all skills. Yoga is the mother of perfection. Karma is never the mother of perfection. Work is not good. The apostle Paul wrote: Look! Skill comes from yoga. To enjoy this world, we need to go within and practice Yoga. Yoga brings efficiency in our work, reveals inner perfection and enhances the quality of our joy. Yoga has outperformed control and waitlist control conditions, but not always outperformed treatment comparison groups such as other types of exercise. More randomized controlled trials comparing yoga to physical exercise groups are required.
