It is a science designed to cultivate health and happiness, a greater sense of awareness, and higher consciousness. So, Yoga is an ascetic discipline which is practised for good health and relaxation". He also pointed out the contribution of yoga in maintaining fitness and good health and how it helps students to memorise something and understand a concept and its context. It strengthens the immune system and does internal cleansing of blood, body parts, body systems, organs, veins & arteries”. Fr.
