Abstract

Stress can have a bad impact on one's physical and mental health, causing unpleasant symptoms including headaches, anxiety, and despair. A curriculum that supports a student's total wellness, encompassing their mental, physical, social, and moral qualities, is thought to be essential. Such a strategy is anticipated to have positive outcomes over the course of their career. The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of simplified kundalini yoga practices on haematological and hormonal variables among medical students of a tertiary care setting. After taking necessary ethical committee permissions from an institution of a tertiary care setting, 120 students were chosen through purposive sampling method and were divided into two 60-membered groups. All the students who accepted to be a part of this study aged greater than 18 years were included in the study. Those who denied consent to be a part of this study were excluded from the study. Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) included Simplified Physical Exercises, Kayakalpa Yoga Exercises, Simplified Kundalini Meditation and Introspection. The subjects were free to withdraw their consent in case of feeling any discomfort during the period of their participation but there was no dropout during the study. 53.33% (n=32) of the study participants in the yoga group constituted females, whereas 55% of the control group (n=33) were females. 73.33% (n=44) of the yoga group participants were in the age group of 20-21 years, whereas 68.33% of the control group participants were in the age group of 20-21 years. The study results indicate that SKY program could be a feasible and acceptable strategy among the students of both medical and non-medical background in maintaining the overall health.
