| Abstract: |
The global rise in psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depression has become one of the major public health challenges of the 21st century. Despite the advances in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, the persistence of relapse and side effects in conventional treatments has drawn attention toward complementary approaches. Among these, yoga has emerged as a scientifically validated and holistic discipline integrating physical postures (asanas), breathing regulation (pranayama), and meditative awareness (dhyana). Rooted in ancient Indian philosophy, yoga aims to harmonize the mind–body connection, fostering psychological resilience and emotional balance. Research in psychoneuroimmunology and affective neuroscience has demonstrated yoga’s capacity to regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, lower cortisol levels, improve vagal tone, and modulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Furthermore, mindfulness-based yoga interventions have shown substantial efficacy in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression by enhancing neural connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and limbic system, areas central to emotion regulation. This article explores the philosophical foundations, psychological mechanisms, and empirical evidence underlying yoga’s role in mitigating stress, anxiety, and depression. It also discusses the integration of yoga within clinical and workplace settings, as well as the challenges in standardization and research methodology. Ultimately, yoga is presented not merely as a form of physical exercise but as a transformative psychosomatic science that bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychological and neurobiological understanding. |
