ABSTRACT:
The present investigation was done on departmental students of college level between the age group of 18-25 from Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo, Punjab India through the purposive sampling method (non-probability sampling). Participants were departmental students from various academic backgrounds, who voluntarily enrolled in a structured yoga program conducted over 15 days. Quantitative data were collected through perceived stress levels administered at the beginning and end of the intervention. Preliminary findings suggest a significant reduction in perceived stress levels among departmental students following the yoga intervention. Quantitative analysis revealed statistically significant decreases in stress scores post-intervention compared to baseline measures. Qualitative data further supported these findings, elucidating themes of improved emotional regulation, enhanced mindfulness, and overall well-being attributed to regular yoga practice. The study underscores the potential of yoga as a holistic approach to stress management among departmental students. These findings have implications for educational institutions seeking to implement effective stress reduction strategies to promote student well-being and academic success. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects of yoga practice on stress and its sustainability over time.
