The modern generation suffers from imbalanced lifestyles, high workloads, materialistic cravings, and hectic lives, which contribute to increased stress and disturbed interpersonal connections. Anxiety over the future and restless needs are the main sources of sorrow. Having material items from outside sources cannot bring about happiness, as happiness is a state of mind. Yoga is both an art and a science. The foundations of yoga philosophy have been documented in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, which dates to around 200 AD, and the skill of proper living was developed and practiced in India thousands of years ago. The secular practise of yoga has its origins in Indian culture. The way of living encouraged transcendence of the soul. The goal of Patanjali’s yoga practice is to unite the individual self with the Ultimate One. This union can be attained by controlling and letting go of the mind’s constantly changing “vrittis.” Patanjali Yoga teaches the precise kind of discipline and training to achieve mental balance. While the general public’s perception of yoga is restricted to its asanas, the practice of yoga involves eight steps that emphasise physical health, self-discipline, internal and external cleaning, and meditation, which all contribute to mental and spiritual clarity. Everyone can see the physical benefits of yoga, but practicing it can also have psychological and spiritual benefits, such as a sense of well-being and stress reduction as well as a sense of transcendence or connectivity to God or Spirit. The Yoga Sutra by Patanjali has a significant influence on mental health because it presents a comprehensive strategy for wellbeing. The Sutra places an immense value on achieving non-attachment and mastering mind control as ways to uncover the real, joyful self and, eventually, put an end to suffering. According to the Yoga Sutra, this traditional discipline is mainly mental in nature, with physical components acting more as a means than an end. People can experience a sense of release from suffering via consistent effort and practices like physical postures and breathing exercises, which improves mental health and general well-being. Also, yoga-based therapies have been demonstrated to improve mental health outcomes by influencing physiological markers of stress, reducing stress reactivity, and altering the structure and function of the brain. This study seeks to explore the impact of yoga philosophy on mental health and provides a comprehensive description of all aspects of yoga practiced to attain inner peace.
