Yoga: An Ancient Science — New Evidence and a Comprehensive Overview
Abstract
The literature was reviewed considering the historical development of Yoga and its applications in modern healthcare and wellness. This review integrates evidence from clinical trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses as well as historical texts to offer a comprehensive overview of Yoga in the domains of physical health, mental well-being and therapeutic applications. Based on the analysis of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, this article summarises growing scientific support for Yoga but also recognises methodological issues faced by research.
