Abstract
Yoga produces many beneficial emotional, psychological, behavioral and biological effects. The psychophysiological responses to yoga are opposite to the stress response. Shavasan, yoganidra, meditation and slow, rhythmic pranayam breathing are very effective in calming the mind and promoting psychosomatic health. The physiological benefits which follow shavasana helped cardiac patients with ventricular ectopics 2 become more resilient to stressful conditions and rehabilitation following myocardial infarction. 3
