Yoga has a long history. It is an integral subjective science. Its spiritual mental or physical import cannot be separated  from each other. According to Panini, the Grammarian, the word Yoga is derived from two roots, viz. Yujir and Yuja one referring to Yoking (Yujvir Yoga), and the other referring to mental concentration (Yuj Samadhi) and to sense control.

The present book entitled Yoga and Health discusses all the aspects of Yoga from health point of view. The text are written in a lucid form and written in simple colloquial English. (jacket)
