Introduction: The potential benefits of common Indian yoga for both mental and physical well-being are the main reason behind its rising popularity. This retrospective study was intended to evaluate the advantages among participants at Katihar Medical University who regularly practice yoga. Its goal was specifically to ascertain the frequency of yoga practitioners' physical and spiritual characteristics. The nature of existence differs from that of those who do not practice.

Methods: The investigation took place over six months, utilizing a retrospective cross-sectional research design, from October 2024 through March 2025. We used a retrospective cross-sectional study approach over six months. Data from 50 people—25 of whom are experienced practitioners of organized, regimented yoga, and 25 of whom underwent physical examinations, questionnaires, and certified spiritual controls—were evaluated.

Results: The findings showed notable gains in various health-related areas seen by those who practice yoga. Practitioners demonstrated significant gains in physical health, improved variables like increased flexibility (p < 0.01), lower stress (p < 0.001), and better cardiovascular health (p < 0.05). Yoga practitioners gave significantly greater importance to their spiritual well-being. In addition to the physical advantages, they showed an increase over the control group in consciousness, inner peace, and satisfaction with one's life. The findings revealed a notable improvement in both mental and physical health, providing significant support for the inclusion of yoga in holistic medical practices.

Conclusion: Our conclusions emphasize the importance of integrating traditional practices, such as yoga, into contemporary medicine and well-being models to enhance patient care and overall well-being.
