Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity. It is desirable that advances in medicine include the wholistic approach of Yoga to face the current challenges in health care. The wisdom of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world.

Lifestyle is the way people live and this has immense influence on the status of health or disease. Since one’s lifestyle is developed early in life, it is advisable to cultivate healthy lifestyle in early childhood. Many factors determine one’s lifestyle. Economic status determines incidence of under-nutrition in poor and obesity in the rich. Cultural values of the society dictate the dietary preferences in the population. Sedentary life is a major factor for coronary artery disease while personal habits like smoking and alcoholism determine the incidence of heart disease and cirrhosis of liver. Exercise, healthy diet and rest and relaxation are important components of lifestyle.

Yoga is the most perfect lifestyle module as it is comprehensive and holistic in its nature. Yogic lifestyle including diet, attitudes and various techniques help strengthen and develop positive health enabling us to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing the pent-up stress effectively through various Yogic practices. Yoga is a wholistic and integral science of life dealing with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the individual and society.

This CME-cum-Workshop aims to give participants an overview of the role Yoga can play in lifestyle disorders by inculcating a healthy lifestyle whose main components are: achar (healthy activities), vichar (right thoughts and right attitude towards life) , ahar (healthy, nourishing

diet) and vihar (proper recreational activities to relax body and mind). To live a healthy life, it is important to do healthy things and follow a healthy lifestyle. The modern world is facing a pandemic of lifestyle disorders that require changes to be made consciously by individuals themselves.

This CME-cum-Workshop will be beneficial for medical and paramedical professionals and students as well as Yoga practitioners and enthusiasts.
