Abstract:
Yoga is not a religion, it is a way of living that aims towards a healthy mind in a healthy body. Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; yoga helps promote a balanced development of all the three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being. They have little to do with the development of the spiritual or astral body. When the body is physically healthy, the mind is clear, focused and stress is under control. Keeping this factor in mind, effect of six weeks yogic practice was conducted on college going female students to study its effects on stress and anxiety. The subjects were equally divided into two equal groups by using random sampling procedure i.e. one is experimental group and one is control group. The experimental Group A was administered yogic practice from different departments of physical education under Vidyasagar University and control Group B was given no training. All the subjects were taken from department of physical education of different colleges of Vidyasagar University.
