There are a large number of methods of Yoga catering to the needs of different persons in society. They are broadly classified into four streams. Swami Vivekananda puts them as: Work, Worship, Philosophy and Psychic control.

Karma Yoga, the path of work, involves doing action in a skillful way. In other words, it can be said as a way of enjoying work, doing it effortlessly. The success or failure should not be allowed to cause ripples in the mind.

Bhakti Yoga, the path of worship is a systematic method of engaging the mind in the practice of divine love. This attitude of love softens our emotions and tranquillises our mind.

Jnana Yoga, the path of philosophy, is a systematic way of tutoring the mind about the realities of life by contemplation. This will strip off the garb of Avidya (ignorance) from our mind and the mind goes to its natural state of rest.

Raja Yoga, the path of psychic control, is a systematic process of culturing the mind. It is based on the 8-limbed Yoga of Patanjali.

Yoga means a holistic approach towards the cause and treatment of disease.

According to Yoga, most of the diseases Mental, Psychosomatic and Physical originate in mind through wrong way a thinking, living and eating which is caused by attachment.

The basic approach of Yoga is to correct the life style by cultivating a rational positive and spiritual attitude towards all life situation.

Yoga does not treat gross body alone, it takes into consideration all the five kosa's(sheaths) i.e. -

Manomaya Kosa (psychic sheath)

Annamaya Kosa (gross sheath)

Pranamaya Kosa (vital life sheath)

Vijyanmaya Kosa (intellect Sheath)

Anandamaya Kosa (bliss Sheath).

Like Ayurveda and Naturopathy, Yoga also takes up the cleansing of the body as the first measure to fight disease. While Ayurveda performs its Panchakarma through the help of emetics, purgativesm, Yoga performs them without the help of any drug i.e. by developing full efficiency and control of eliminative systems of the body. Which no other system of health care can do.

All the systems of medicine at their best aim at curing the disease whereas Yoga aims at preventing the disease and promoting health by reconditioning the psycho-physiological mechanism of the individual.

Yoga emphasizes the development of brotherhood, harmony, fraternity and equality not only towards all human beings irrespective of colour, caste, nationality, age and sex but towards all living beings also. This attitude renders the thinking so positive that man is liberated from all mental malice and also all the mental, psychosomatic and physiological diseases arising thereof.

The approach of Yoga is not confirmed to various disorders, it aims at bringing under perfect control of the mind, senses and pranic energy and direct them towards healthier channels with a view to aquire mental purity, intellectual stability and spiritual bliss.

Yoga is very wide and comprehensive system embracing all walks of human life. It is not merely a system of treatment but has potential to develop alround health i.e. physical, social, mental and spiritual. For social health, it prescribes the practice of Yama & Niyama and Karma Yoga. A man devoted to Karma Yoga looks all the living beings as his brethrens and helps them getting rid of painful situations. This concept of "Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam" is the basic Philosophy of Yoga.

Yoga emphasizes the practitioners to withstand the environment influences both external & internal as well as physical & mental processes. This practice cultivates strong immunity in them and make them capable of offering a effective resistance to various environmental pressures and thus, maintains behavioural equanimity and intellectual stability.

The practice of Yama - Niyamas purifies the heart of practitioner from vices like attachment, aversion, avarice and infatuation etc. and generates higher ethical qualities like sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, cheerfulness, courage, detachment, patience, perseverance, tranquility, self control, truth, harmony and uprightness.
