Abstract: Purpose: Modern lifestyles characterized by physical inactivity, occupational stress, irregular routines, and social disconnection have led to a rise in lifestyle-related health problems and a decline in overall well-being. Health is now widely recognized as a multidimensional concept encompassing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Yogic practices, rooted in ancient Indian philosophy, offer a holistic and integrative approach to health promotion. The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of yogic practices in achieving and sustaining multidimensional health in the context of a modern lifestyle. Materials and Method: A comparative research design was adopted. The study involved adult participants divided into yogic practitioners and non-practitioners. Standardized questionnaires were used to assess Physical, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual Health Parameters. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Results: The findings revealed that individuals practicing yoga regularly demonstrated significantly higher levels of multidimensional health compared to non-practitioners. Yogic practices showed a positive influence across all health dimensions. Conclusion: The study concludes that yogic practices play a significant role in achieving and sustaining multidimensional health in a modern lifestyle and can be effectively integrated into daily life as a preventive and promotive health strategy.
