The researcher's primary objective in this study was to delve into the intricacies of physical postures within the realm of yoga, commonly referred to as yogic asanas. Yoga, a discipline rooted in an exquisite science, meticulously seeks to establish a delicate balance between the corporeal and the cerebral. Serving as both an art and a science, it unfolds as a pathway to an active lifestyle, orchestrating a seamless union between the body and mind, the individual consciousness, and the universal consciousness, as well as fostering harmony between humanity and nature.

The profound impact of yogic postures extends beyond the physical realm, playing a pivotal role in constructing psycho-physiological health, fostering emotional equilibrium, and effectively managing the daily stresses, anxieties, and their subsequent repercussions. To infuse an "active lifestyle" with mindfulness into our daily existence, various yogic postures or asanas, coupled with practices such as Pranayama, Dhyana or meditation, and relaxation techniques, offer valuable avenues.

Yoga, in its societal manifestation, stands as an inclusive and readily accessible practice, transcending barriers of age, religion, caste, and gender. Its manifold benefits extend beyond the individual to encompass the broader human experience and contribute to the well-being of nations. Through the adoption of yogic postures, individuals can cultivate flexibility, enhance fitness levels, fortify strength, and seamlessly unite their body, mind, and soul, reveling in inner peace.

Embraced not only as a preventive measure but also as a curative influence in social life, yoga has evolved into an international phenomenon, garnering tremendous popularity worldwide. This global trend attests to the universal recognition of the transformative power inherent in the practice of yogic postures, establishing yoga as a beacon of holistic well-being on the international stage.
