Abstract:Yoga represents one of the most comprehensive philosophical systems developed to understand human existence in its totality. Rather than conceptualizing health as merely the absence of disease, yogic philosophy views well-being as a dynamic equilibrium between the physical body, vital energy, mental processes, ethical orientation, and spiritual awareness. The human being is understood as an integrated entity in which disturbances at one level influence the entire system.

This paper undertakes a theoretical exploration of the concept of holistic living within the yogic tradition and examines its philosophical foundations and structural coherence. Drawing upon classical sources such as the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the discussion analyzes the Panchakosha model, the ethical disciplines of Yama and Niyama, psycho-physiological integration through Asana and Pranayama, and the transformative role of meditative awareness.

The analysis argues that holistic living in Yoga provides a systemic framework capable of addressing fragmentation at physical, psychological, and existential levels. It positions Yoga not merely as a therapeutic intervention but as a disciplined life orientation that cultivates coherence, moderation, and conscious engagement with existence.
