The science of yoga aims at imparting knowledge, to attain freedom from the bondage of ignorance. The first step in this direction is to have a healthy mind in a healthy body and this is achieved through Sunjeevan yoga. Sunjeevan yoga is based on the principles of anatomy and physiology, ancient Ayurveda, and quantum physics. Our body (gross body) consists of five basic elements Earth, water, Fire, Air, and Space. Imbalance in these elements leads to constraining energy flow thus resulting in physiological deformity. Imbalance caused in the gross body can be rectified through various yoga postures and space is created for energy flow in the body and it is naturalized by using pranayama techniques. In this therapy, the patient stays in a yoga posture for an extended time to allow the patient to look within and observe the changes internally rather than external methods of treatment.

Sunjeevan Yoga is a blend of modern medical science with the traditional science of Yoga. Movement is a sign of liveliness. The physical deformity is a consequence of ignorant physiological movements. Improper monotonous movements disturb the normal symmetry of agonist and antagonist muscles thus disturbing space inside the body. Sunjeevan yoga postures emphasize creating space and balance between all the muscles. Physiological changes can be rectified physiologically. Therefore, Sunjeevan Yoga therapy gives importance to the muscular-skeletal system and its physiology. Yoga postures are designed to study the trend of agonist and antagonist muscles in the affected area in the body, give counter stretch, and bring back normal alignment of the body. Traditional Hath yoga postures are being modified and made easy to perform with the help of various props like ropes, cotton straps, pillows, blankets, and different types of furniture. This spiritual discipline is based on a subtle science that aims to bring about harmony between the body and the mind.
