From the Vedic teachings in ancient India to 21st century research, evidence shows that Yoga changes the way we think, feel, and act. It makes us happier, healthier, and better-adjusted, but that doesn’t explain the science behind the art.
Swami Vishnu Devananda mentions two aspects (physical and spiritual) of Yoga science in his classic book: “The Illustrated Book of Yoga.” Paul Jerard has often mentioned four Yogic aspects (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual), which also mirror our planes of existence. Yogic science is an infinite subject and that is why we love to study it so much.
