AYURYOGA: Exploring the intersection of Mind, its control and Well Being

Abstract

This research paper delves into the fascinating domain of AyurYoga, an integrative approach that combines principles from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, and Yoga, a spiritual and physical practice with deep historical roots. The study aims to explore the interconnectedness between the human mind, its control through Yoga practices, and its impact on overall well-being, as understood through the lens of Ayurveda & Yoga principles. AyurYoga recognizes the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit, viewing the human being as a holistic entity where the balance and harmony of these components are essential for optimal health. The study delves into the diverse range of Yoga practices, including asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control), meditation, and mindfulness techniques, all of which play integral roles in shaping the mind and influencing emotional states. Furthermore, the investigation also examines the potential therapeutic applications of AyurYoga in managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders, substantiating claims with empirical evidence. In addition, the paper investigates Ayurvedic principles that categorize individuals based on their unique mind-body constitutions (doshas) and how AyurYoga can be tailored to suit individual needs, promoting personalized well-being and mind-body equilibrium. Finally, the research paper discusses the future prospects of AyurYoga as an integrative system of health and well-being.
