Wellness - Homeostasis through Yoga

Abstract

Adoption of yogic practice beneficially modulates homeostasis from the holistic organismic as well as reductionist cellular approach.It subtly affects not only the physical body but also other kosh or sheaths, thus imparting psychophysiological well-being and spiritual growth.Every physiological system has been shown to be nurtured with optimal conditions for its functioning near set-point, thus conserving the finetuning at large.Often an analogy may be drawn between the medical science of today and the Vedantic science of ancient times, thus asserting that even minor attempts to imbibe yogasanas in routine life would benefit the practitioner.Not everything can be tested or measured, as the so-called-imperceptible things are beyond our ability to sense or comprehend.Though physiological and anatomical changes may be monitored, the achievement of mental tranquility may also be the marker for yoga as the alternative medicine.
