From that we come to a conclusion that different modern life style patterns affect our health physically, psychologically, and socially. Yoga is crucially concerned with how we live our life with respect to:

• Our own personal health, hygiene and well being

Yoga is an ancient system of philosophy, lifestyle and techniques that evolves whole person. Physical, vitality, mind, and emotions, wisdom, ethics and higher quality of relationships and realization of spiritual reality of each of us. Different lifestyle practices make life healthier.

General lifestyle: Considerations such as simplicity in our life, efficiency, regularity, moderation., activity, and monitoring our physical intake such as foods, drinks, air and drugs. We also watch quality of our mental and emotional intake, especially from people in our life, media etc.

It is not easy to  change , but often just minor improvements in a destructive lifestyle can have great benefits. Some people have a very hectic life, and they often don’t even realize it. They overwork, take their work home with them and do it late at night, and indulge in activities that cause them various kinds of anxieties and worries. A number of tendencies complicate people’s live. One is inability to say no to people, so they accept more than they can handle, and end up handling none of it properly. If we stressed and seem to be running around in circle, it is a good idea to ask ourselves if our life has become too complicated. Regular meals and regular yoga practices are also conductive to a lifestyle that keeps us in a stable and balanced condition, and help in our endeavours to evolve our personality. Above lifestyle practices of yoga -styles, we can live our lives and enable us to evolve aspects of our nature.
