ABSTRACT

Yoga is widely practiced as a means to promote physical, psychological and spiritual well-being. While a number of studies have documented the efficacy of yoga for functioning in healthy individuals and those experiencing illness or pain, bio-psychosocial effects have not been detailed. We propose an analogue between the physical, psychological and spiritual effects of practice as support in yoga traditions, and the bio-psychosocial model of health.
