Yoga is a science of mind-body practice, rooted in ancient Indian health practices, that uses a holistic approach, including non-theistic spiritual and psychological pursuits for physical health, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing. It is an ancient Indian discipline of health, wellness, and lifestyle. Yoga, as a mind-body discipline, incorporates physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana) to harmonize individual consciousness with universal consciousness, balancing mind-body correspondence (, ). A growing body of empirical literature has examined Yoga-based interventions across a range of health conditions, including chronic pain, mental health disorders, cardiometabolic disease, and other non-communicable conditions (–). Despite this expanding evidence base, Yoga has not been systematically integrated into mainstream healthcare delivery structures. Much of the existing literature emphasizes clinical efficacy and outcomes, while comparatively limited attention has been given to how Yoga can be operationalized, governed, financed, regulated, and evaluated within real-world health systems. Prior work typically addresses clinical efficacy or broad advocacy for traditional medicine, and few sources explicitly integrate stakeholder mapping, cost, and quality considerations, and policy alignment into a single implementation schema focused on Yoga. Implementation science provides a structured analytical framework for examining this know–do gap by focusing on the strategies, mechanisms, and contextual factors that influence the adoption, fidelity, sustainability, and scale-up of evidence-based practices across healthcare settings. From this perspective, the central challenge for Yoga is not solely whether it is effective, but how it can be responsibly integrated into institutional workflows while maintaining quality, safety, accountability, and cultural integrity.
