S. Haseena

Abstract :

The present study is aimed at studying the impact of Yoga exercises on the mental health of the Adults. The sample of the present study consists of 80 adults by purposive sampling technique to form two groups, viz. Group–I and Group–II. Group–I constituted the individuals who practice one or more yoga exercises regularly and Group–II constituted the individuals who do not practice any Yoga exercises in their day to day life. The Mental Health Inventory (M.H.I) developed by Dr. Jagdish and Dr. A.K.Srivastava (1983) was administered to the two groups to assess their mental health status. It was predicted that performing yoga exercises regularly would significantly affect the mental health of the adults. It was concluded that there is significant difference between adults of Group–I (who perform Yoga) and adults of Group–II (who do not perform Yoga) with regard to their mental health.
