Resumen

Obesity, a global health concern, is largely driven by sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary habits, leading to conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and depression. This case study examined the impact of an 8-week structured Yoga program on a 32-year-old male IT professional with a BMI of 38 kg/m². The intervention included daily sessions of asanas (e.g., Trikonasana and Paschimottanasana), Pranayama (Kapalbhati and Bhramari), and mindfulness. The subject experienced an 8 kg weight loss, improved BMI and waist-hip ratio, and enhanced mental well-being. Integrating modern medicine with Ayurvedic principles, this study highlights yoga’s holistic benefits for physical and psychological health. It emphasizes yoga not only as a fitness tool, but also as a therapeutic approach to promote metabolic balance, stress relief, and lifestyle regulation. Further studies are required to confirm its effectiveness across various populations.
