The Journal focuses on yoga, yogic practice, anxiety, depression, mindfulness, meditation, arthritis, ADHD, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. Yoga is a systematic practice of physical exercise, breath control, relaxation, diet control, and positive thinking and meditation aimed at developing harmony in the body, mind, and environment. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil, often accompanied by nervous behaviours such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints, and rumination. A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life. Mindfulness is the psychological process of purposely bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment, which one develops through the practice of meditation and through other training. Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.

Medical yoga is defined as the use of yoga practices for the prevention and treatment of medical conditions. Beyond the physical elements of yoga, which are important and effective for strengthening the body, medical yoga also incorporates appropriate breathing techniques, mindfulness, and meditation in order to achieve the maximum benefits. Multiple studies have shown that yoga can positively impact the body in many ways, including helping to regulate blood glucose levels, improve musculoskeletal ailments and keeping the cardiovascular system in tune. It also has been shown to have important psychological benefits, as the practice of yoga can help to increase mental energy and positive feelings, and decrease negative feelings of aggressiveness, depression and anxiety.
