Abstract:
Life style disorders are the results of imbalanced activity adopted by our sense organs. By balancing the activities of our sense organs i.e. neither suppressed nor exaggerated, one can be free from life style disorderss. Ashtanga Yoga described by Maharishi Patanjali can provide great intervention for prevention of life style disorders and can have additive effect in the management of such disorders. Among Ashtanga Yoga, Niyama i.e. Shaucha, Santosha, Tapa, Swadhyaya and Ishwara Pranidhana can be considered as the root or base for prevention as well as for management of life style disorders. If an individual won’t follow Niyama, none of efforts either by physician or by individual itself are of any use. Therefore an effort has been made to explore the role of Niyama in prevention and management of life style disorders as a whole
