of

our .aija *arma that manifests in this lifetime as our genetic predispositions and the

en1ironment 2e are orn into% Yoga also helps maintain and sustain this dynamic state of

condition of the ody is done & an appropriate diet is suggested% This is 1ery important to

follo2 as it directly impacts the effect of the yoga practices% Theoretically, in Yoga, it is

elie1ed that diet directly impacts the state of mind% ?ence, an apt diet, in rele1ance to the

prolem, 2hen suggested leads to a satt1ic state of mind% The increase in satt1a #uotient,

further ma"es the ody light & the practices easier%

)elaxation(n Yoga, sha1asana & Yoga nidra are the t2o techni#ues of inducing

rela)ation% (t is considered as a 1ery crucial part of Yoga therapy as it completely pacifies

the mind, #uietens the ody functions & helps in centering oneself preparing the mind, ody& the reath for dhyana% Physiologically also this is regarded as a 1ery important aspect as

it has een oser1ed that during sha1asana, the ody enters an anaolic state of

metaolism, during 2hich the cells repair, reju1enate leading to increase in production of

proteins & one gro2th%

Dhyana This is the most significant aspect of Yoga therapy as this is the only step 2here

Yoga is attained% 3editation; dhyana can e defined as a practice of reaching a state of

asolute mentalpeace, rela)ed ody% (t results in immense energy through out the ody &

rings clarity in mind% To pacify the disturing modifications of the mind, is the final stage

of Yoga & all the lims of yoga in Ashtanga yoga' or in Yoga

precipitating factor in so many psychosomatic disorders% Doctors are often found telling

their patients to rela), ut ne1er tell them ho2 to do itL The rela)ation part of e1ery Yoga

session is most important for it is during it that enefits of practices done in the session

seep into each and e1ery cell producing rest, reju1enation, rein1igoration and
