Yogascience
represents a scientific application of Yoga as a therapy.
The
Sanskrit meaning of the word Yoga is ‘integration’.
It represents a process though which one learns how
to live life in the most integrated way.
This
becomes possible through a process of constant effort
for identification and elimination of all the elements,
which would lead to dis-integration. The health of
the body and mind being the most important components
of this integrated state, identification of all the
elements, causing ill health techniques for neutralizing
these ill effects becomes an important concern in
Yoga.
Thus
Yoga, viewed at one level as a science of personal
growth for spiritual experience can also be viewed
at therapy level as a science of Health and Healing.
