THE HEALTH BENEFITS
OF YOGA
It begins by working with the body on a
structural level.
Yogic practices stimulate & balance all the
systems of the body.
A few month practice of yoga triggers
neurohormonal mechanisms that bring health
benefits.

PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL
BIOCHEMICAL

Effects on the Nervous System
Effects on the CVS
Effects on Respiratory System
Effects on Metabolic Rate
Effects on Skeleto-muscular System
Effects on Digestive System
PHYSIOLOGICAL
Benefits

Bring stable automomic nervous system equilibrium
with a tendency toward parasympathetic nervous
system dominance.
This result in;
Decrease in normal range of Heart Rate, BP, RR
Improvement in GIT & excretory functions, sexual
activity,
favours storage of absorbed nutrients
Electric Dermal Response (EDR)
Effects on the Nervous
System

EEG Predominance of alpha waves; theta,
delta & beta waves also increases. This
indicates a more relaxed state of mind &
result in:
 Sensory attenuation
 i.e minimal sensory input (less distraction, better
concentration & pain decreases)
 Motor attenuation
 i.e minimal motor input (comfortable posture)

Higher function of the nervous system
 Improvement of higher intellectual activities –
emotional affects, motivation, behavior, learning
efficiency, personality, memory, moral& social
sense etc.
 Improvement in cerebral blood flow with
synchronized neuronal activity
 Depth perception & critical fusion frequency
improves, indicating reduced fatigue & stress
level.

Heart rate & systemic BP decreases
Cardiovascular efficiency increases
 A given level of exercise is associated with a
smaller increase in above parameters. This may be
attributed to increase baro-reflex sensitivity.
Effects on the CVS
Respiratory Rate decreases
Tidal volume increases
Vital capacity increases
Breath holding time increases
Maximum breathing capacity (MBC) increases
Respiratory efficiency increases & respiration
become more smooth
 Mechanism: parasympathetic nervous system
dominance with decrease in sympathetic activity.
Effects on Respiratory
System

It slow down metabolism by decreasing the
oxygen consumption.
 The fall in the metabolic rate is much greater &
more steep than during sleep. There is no fall in
the internal body temperature.
Higher maximum oxygen consumption can
be achieved due to increase in cardio-
respiratory efficiency.
Effects on Metabolic
Rate

 Musculo-Skeletal flexibility & joint range of
movement increases
 Strength & resiliency increases
 Endurance increases
 Energy level increases
Effects on Skeleto-
muscular System

 Yoga helps digestion by;
 Increase blood flow to GIT
 Stimulate peristalsis
 Relax digestive system & leads to more effective
elimination
Effects on Digestive
System

Somatic & kinesthetis awareness increases
Mood improves & subjective well being
increases
Social adjustment increases
Anxiety & depression decreases
Hostility decreases
Psychomotor functions improves.
PSYCHOLOGICAL
Benefits

Psychomotor functions improves such
as;
Grip strength increases
Fine skill movements improves
Endurance increases
Integrated functions of body parts
improves

 This profile improves indicating an anti-stress &
antioxidant effect important in the prevention of
degeneration diseases.
 Heamatocrit, Hb and lymphocyte count increses
 Total serum protein & vitamin C increases
 Glucose & sodium levels decreases.
 Lipid profile;
 Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL & VLDL are
decreses, HDL increases.
BIOCHEMICAL Benefits

YOGA IN HEALTH &
DISEASES

DISEASES
FAULTY
LIFE
STYLE
STREE

Yoga is helpful in the management of obesity
Mechanism;
 By simple excess calorie expenditure
 Life style modification
 Improvement in dietary habits
 Positive body-mind equilibrium
OBESITY & Body Weight

 A short period (03months) of regular yogic practice for
01hr / day is effective in controlling blood pressure.
Mechanism;
 restoration of baroreflex sensitivity with autonomic
readjustments.
 Progressive reduction of sympatho-adrenal &
rennin-angiotension activity.
HYPERTENSION

 Reduced heart rate variability & baroreflex
sensitivity are powerful predictors of CAD / IHD
Mechanism;
 slow breathing yogic exercises with mantras
increases HR variability & baroreflex sensitivity
by re-synchroning inherent cardiovascular
rhythms. This also decreases RR interval in
ECG, reduces both systolic & diastolic BP.
 improve serum lipid profile in IHD pt.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) /
Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD)

 Yoga help in the reduction of sympathetic
activity with reduction in heart rate, Oxygen
consumption & increase tidal volume. >>>
protection IHD & Myocardial Infarction.
 Yoga exercise increases regression & retards
progression of atherosclerosis in CAD.
 Lipid lowering & plaque-stabilizing effects of
yoga exercise seems to be similar to that of
statin drugs.
 Yoga is also shown to have the ability to
control the sympathetic overdrive thus
mimicking beta blockade.

YOGA exercise tone & shape the body,
improve posture & circulation & contribute
to feeling of well-being.
Mechanism;
 Neurohormonal modulation involving
insulin & glucagon activity.
DIABETES MELLITUS

Asanas strengthen back muscles & relieve
backache.
They also help reliving muscular spasm by
increasing flexibility, decrease in body
weight & stress, & producing relaxation of
the body as a whole.
SKELETO-MUSCULAR
disorders

What type of cancer you have, and your
physical abilities; yogic practice will be
specific help to move in a positive direction.
Yoga helps an adjunct to medical treatment by;
 Ease the symptoms
 Give more energy
 Calm the mind
 Give tools for accepting, loving & motivation.
CANCER Recovery

Yoga practice has been long used for stress
reduction as well as for prevention &
treatment of psychological disturbances.
Yogic exercises & relaxation improve
insomnia, tension headache & irritable bowel
or bladder.
Psychiatric disturbances

cells of the body.
 The main purpose of pranayama is to gain control
over the Autonomous Nervous System & through it
to influence the mental functions.
 It involves;
 slow deep inspiration
 Holding breath
 Near complete expiration.
