Abstract: Yoga therapy has emerged as a promising adjunctive treatment for chronic diseases, offering holistic benefits for physical and mental health. This article explores the therapeutic potential of yoga in managing chronic diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and chronic pain. Through a review of current literature and analysis of clinical studies, the article investigates the physiological and psychological mechanisms through which yoga therapy exerts its effects. Statistical procedures such as randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses are discussed to provide evidence-based insights into the efficacy of yoga therapy. The findings underscore the role of yoga as a comprehensive therapeutic approach that enhances quality of life and mitigates symptoms associated with chronic diseases.

Keywords: Yoga Therapy, Chronic Diseases, Holistic Health, Physical Health, Mental Health, Quality of Life, Clinical Studies, Statistical Analysis, Randomized Controlled Trials, Meta-analysis.
