Preface Yog Vidya' is a one of the most important attribute of our great cultural heritage. The concepts and knowledge of Yog given by our ancient sages and divine souls living in "Bharat since ancient times are blessing of them for the welfare of mankind. Just as the strength of any building depends on the strength laid down at the time of foundation itself similarly is in the case of yog 'The yog itself is the foundation stone as is the basic strength of life. It helps in establishing balance between our body, mind and soul Students are the future of any nation. Their entire personality depends on good education, high moral values and healthy lifestyle. Keeping this in mind as well as understanding the usefulness and importance of educating yog to all students, we have written the text of yog in a simple and meaningful way for students of class IX. We are always blessed with the holy and divine inspiration of Param Pujya Yogrishi Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj and have prepared this text with his love and blessings for you all. The concept and practice of yog provided by our great sages in India has the potential to awaken the inherent powers of man and thereby increasing the chances of all round development. This is the reason why we have worked to add yog education to the school curriculum by considering it as a very important component of life. There has been a long tradition of studying yog and its teaching in India since ancient times. But the majority of the society today is deprived of this study, especially students. Therefore, to fill this prevailing gap at present, we have made a humble effort to bring yog education into reality through these books so that every student can get benefits from this education.

The need to bring ‘yog- oriented health education' into the main framework of education was being felt by academicians and thinkers in the country for a long time. This is the reason why education of yog has been given special importance in the National Education Policy 2020 of the Government of India. The goal of yog education is to provide theoretical teaching and training of yog to children at primary, secondary and higher secondary levels in such a way that it can be related to health and physical education, can create awareness towards diseases and moral values. The text presented here is written in such a manner that it will help us to make understand the concept and practice of yog among students. The textbooks for yog (I-X) have been prepared keeping in mind the all-round development of children and for it not only different asanas pranayama etc., are given but also the appropriate topics related to health awareness, common diseases and their treatment along with Ayurvedic medicine etc., have been presented in accordance with child psychology.

The text books Yog and Health for different classes have been prepared considering the age group of children specially their intellect and physical health. The children can easily understand the theoretical as well as practical concepts of yog very easily. These text books will definitely help the children to increase their physical strength as well as will help to develop the scientific and creative thinking among them. The text also will help children to imbibe moral values like satya (truth) ahimsa (non-violence) asteya (non-stealing) brahmacharya (celibacy) and aparigarha (non-possessing) through the memorable true incidents from the life history of our renowned Lords and great men of this country given in different chapters of the books. Besides this the common problems encountered by the children between 11-13 age group as well as commonly occurring diseases have also been discussed. The curative measure including proper dietary practices, yogic treatments are also given. The yogic dictionary, vocabulary etc have also been given as the addendum so that children can easily understand the meaning of difficult terms for them. The pictorial representation of various asana will effectively help them to learn and practice the yogic tradition in their mind and soul. All the asana and pranayama practise can be easily performed by children as all these have been provided through innovative videos which can be easily seen by scanning the barcode given in each chapter, which to the best of my knowledge! think is incorporated for the first time in any yog books upto secondary education in India. A "Yog Sandarshika has also been prepared so that every yog teacher does not face any difficulty while teaching. The instructions given in guide must be followed by all so as to maintain the uniformity in the practice even when child reach to next class.

I am confident that this effort made by us together will help to fulfill the dream of Param Pujya Yogarishi Swami Ji Maharaj to make 'Healthy India - Disease Free India, not only his mission will be fulfilled but it will be beneficial for your children, family, society, nation and the world.
