Abstract
This chapter introduces a holistic perspective of the Yogic tradition. First we review the healing power of yoga through the Eastern tradition, highlighting the importance of yoga in maintaining the Chakra system and sustaining a healthy Chi flow. We then endorse the healing power of yoga through a Western medical lens and evidence-based empirical research and clinical trials.
