ABSTRACT
Yoga attempts to harmonize and balance the body, mind, and emotions. Yoga incorporates particular physical postures, breathing methods, relaxation, and meditation to help the body's mental and physical wellness. Based on data from several clinical trials, we briefly summarize the function of various yoga practices in the management of glycemic control and associated metabolic disorders in this review. We searched numerous databases and checked the bibliographies of pertinent review papers and all recognized publications to find qualified studies. Medication alone is not enough for most people to achieve glycemic control; various healthy habits, including nutrition, frequent physical exercise, and stress management, must also be addressed. Yoga practice has been shown to improve glycemic control by reducing stress and other self-care activities. Yoga as a mindfulness practice may be particularly beneficial to those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Key words: Yoga, mind, glycemic control, metabolic disorders.
