Yoga is an age-old traditional psycho–philosophical–cultural method of leading one’s life that alleviates stress, induces relaxation and provides multiple health benefits to the person following its system. Yoga seeks to control the mind through the union of an individual’s dormant energy with the universal energy.

Amidst an increased interest in traditional complementary and alternate systems of medicine, yoga is considered helpful in the treatment of various systemic and neurological disorders including epilepsy.
