yagya: Vedic (Hindu) ceremony purportedly designed to engage at least one deity in promoting health and restoring "environmental balance."

Yokibics®: Method founded by former theology student Gael Chiarella, author of Yokibics: A Mindbody Workbook for Everyday Living. The name "Yokibics" has three components: "Yo," which stands for "union of mind, body, and spirit"; "ki" (chi); and "bics" ("movement").

Yoshida taido (Yoshida taido technique): Fitness "technique" apparently developed by Toshiro Yoshida. Its apparent main premises are that (a) all diseases stem from leg disorders, and (b) maintaining "a good physical balance" and enabling adequate intake of "natural energy" are the keys to preserving soundness of body and mind. "Taido" means "body guidance." Yoshida taido and the seitai control technique are related.

Yotsu®: Combination of yoga and Zen Shiatsu developed by Alessandro Cantelli, reportedly as a "self-treatment method" for balancing "meridians." The name "Yotsu" derives from the expression "Yogic Shiatsu."
