Abstract : This research paper explores the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and examines the efficiency of Yogic practices in the prevention and management of these disorders. The paper emphasizes that while medical interventions exist but the prevention through yogic discipline is ideal for holistic cardiovascular health. This paper explores the physiological and therapeutic benefits of Yoga in improving cardiovascular function, reducing risk factors such as hypertension and promoting overall well-being. By integrating traditional Yogic practices with modern scientific evidence, this study underscores the effectiveness of Yoga as a complementary intervention for cardiovascular health management.
