Abstract: Introduction An old practice rooted in Indian philosophy, yoga integrates physical posture (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), and ethical fields to promote a general well. For thousands of years, yoga has been rooted partly in Indian philosophy and traditional Indian spiritual practices [1]. The role of yoga has recently expanded. Yoga is currently a popular physical and mental health method, adapted to international complementary and integrative medicine [2]. In the latter environment, yoga most often includes physical posture, breath control, deep relaxation, and meditation/mindfulness techniques. In Western society, yoga is increasingly popular as a preventive and therapeutic practice, and is one of the treatments with the fastest increase in prevalence [3], as seen in a study [4]. Over the years, yoga has gained global recognition for improving flexibility and relaxation, but also a powerful preventive and therapeutic device for various health conditions.
