The science of Yoga has two aspects, the physical and the spiritual one. Therefore the relation of yoga with health has also two aspects. Firstly, the benefits that one gets through the physical aspect of Yoga and secondly the benefits that one gets through the spiritual aspect of Yoga. The physical aspect has to do with the physical body; through asanas, pranayama, proper eating and cleansing techniques yoga leads to proper breathing, proper blood circulation, proper function of nervous system, proper function of endocrine system and flexibility and strengthening of muscles, all of which help one to obtain and maintain a healthy body. 

The mission of the Campus Health and Yoga Center is to promote health care, enrich the student health experience and support providing high quality, accessible, immediate and essential medical care to students, with a focus on health education and illness prevention. It also takes care to inculcate healthy practices and thereby to create a healthy campus community.
