Perception of Youth regarding role of Yoga Curing Diseases: A Survey Based Investigation

Abstract

Contemporarily, there has been an increasing interest in looking for alternative therapeutic
practices for the treatment and prevention of diseases. Among these practices, yoga has
gained significant recognition for its potential health benefits and its ability to promote
physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. The findings of research in this arena contribute to
the existing knowledge on the perception of youth towards yoga as a curative practice. By
elucidating the perception of youth, this study aims to provide insights into potential
strategies for promoting yoga as a complementary therapy for diseases, targeting a younger
demographic. Understanding the perceptions and beliefs of this population group is crucial
for developing effective educational programs, interventions, and awareness campaigns to
promote the integration of yoga into mainstream healthcare. The results of this research are
expected to have implications for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and yoga
practitioners interested in the holistic management of diseases. Furthermore, they can inform
the development of evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for incorporating yoga
into healthcare systems, facilitating collaborations between medical professionals and yoga
instructors, and promoting the adoption of yoga as a preventive and curative tool for various
diseases.
