The aim of the study is to explore the ancient Indian wisdom regarding the science of exercise, specifically focusing on Vyayama, and to juxtapose it with contemporary research on the preventive and therapeutic aspects of exercise in the context of Ayurveda. Vyayama is recognized for its unique ability to enhance one`s digestive prowess, physical endurance, and mental resilience. Vyayama, as elucidated in Ayurvedic literature, is not merely a form of physical exertion but a comprehensive approach to health. It seeks to provide a comprehensive review of Vyayama in the context of Ayurveda, highlighting its significance in promoting health and well-being. This comprehensive approach will involve examining not only the theoretical aspects of Vyayama as elucidated in ancient texts but also the empirical evidence from modern research. In conclusion, this study embarks on a journey to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science by delving into the holistic principles of Ayurveda, particularly Vyayama. It acknowledges the timeless wisdom embedded in Ayurvedic literature while recognizing the empirical substantiation of its principles in the contemporary world. By consolidating these insights, the study aspires to shed light on the enduring significance of Vyayama as a powerful tool for both physical & mental health and well-being.
