ABSTRACT

Overview: The spread of yoga and its philosophy around the world has been greatly aided by the Bhagavad Gita. Spiritual guru Shri Vethathiri Maharishi developed the SKY Yoga [Simplified Kundalini Yoga] method to change human existence with health, serenity, happiness, and prosperity after years of intense meditation, yogic practices, study, and spiritual awakenings. Aim: To present five case studies that illustrate how yoga helps practitioners who have been practicing SKY Yoga for years to reduce or overcome a range of physical and mental health issues within the framework of biopsychosocial factors, or the biological, psychological, and social components. Methodology: An in-depth case study of SKY yoga practitioners using the interview method. Results: Based on a thorough examination of case study reports, it seems that practicing SKY Yoga for years has helped people deal with psychological distress like tension and anxiety as well as related issues like sleeplessness, appetite loss, anger, shyness, and inferiority complexes that cause them to withdraw from others. Diabetes, back pain, body pain, cervical spondylitis, obesity, and respiratory problems were all treated with the persistent SKY Yoga practice. One characteristic of yoga practitioners that stood out was their improved capacity to maintain positive relationships with friends, family, and other elements of society. It has been demonstrated that practicing yoga can reduce the requirement for hypertension medication. Additionally, it demonstrated a notable decrease symptoms of long-term COVID complications, such as obesity, exhaustion, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
