Yoga is becoming increasingly popular as a behavioral strategy for the promotion and maintenance of health and wellness, as preventive medicine, and also as an adjunct therapeutic intervention. Application of yoga interventions provide psychophysiological and clinical outcomes that are not prominent within the repertoire of modern medicine, including improvements in physical flexibility and self-efficacy, respiratory function, stress reduction and coping, resilience to stress, emotion regulation, mind-body awareness and mindfulness, subjective well-being, quality of life, and life meaning and purpose. Many of these outcomes are related to the behavioral/lifestyle risk factors for chronic noncommunicable diseases, which are reaching epidemie proportions and represent the greatest burden in mortality and cost in modern healthcare. This presentation will overview the scientific evidence on the underlying mechanisms of yoga practice supporting the rationale for these applications of yoga, and will also overview the published clinical trial evidence for its efficacy in wellness, prevention and therapy for a variety of common medical and psychological conditions.
