We need to understand the holistic approach of Yoga in the light of ancient scriptures to explore one's own nature. Yoga is not mere physical exercises and postures; rather it is a lifestyle. If we examine the current trend, starting from childhood to old age, all are undergoing a drastic change in lifestyle due to rapid technological advancement which is leading to pain, misery, and diseases. We have to examine and understand the perfect way of life in real sense as discussed in various ancient scriptures, where emphasis is given on following a systematic routine in accordance with nature. The concept of total health and well-being is the real Vedantic insight which has been originally stated in many of ancient scriptures of India. There are hundreds of efforts being made all over the globe with different ideologies in interpreting Yoga based on their own understanding. This study is aimed at the conceptual understanding of Yoga as lifestyle in day-to-day living as propounded in our ancient scriptures. }, URL ={https://www.ijoyppp.org/article.asp?issn=2347-5633;year=2019;volume=7;issue=2;spage=34;epage=38;aulast=Karisetty;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.ijoyppp.org/article.asp?issn=2347-5633;year=2019;volume=7;issue=2;spage=34;epage=38;aulast=Karisetty;t=6} }
