Yoga is a way of life that aids in spiritual exploration. A healthy body and a clear mind are prerequisites for the quest. The spiritual path has been travelled for thousands of years, and its practitioners have figured out how to make the body healthy and how to purify the mind. Yoga, which is primarily a practice that fosters spiritual growth, also provides greater physical and mental health as side effects. Spiritual development is not a topic that most people are as interested in as health and happiness. Yoga is not a system of medicine, but some aspects of it may be appropriate for use in a system of medicine.
