Abstract :

 

In the present study, 40 participants (21 males and 19 females) in the age group of 20–50 years who were attending the Happiness Program by the Art of Living foundation were assessed for the level of stress before and after Sudershankriya yoga. The participants were taught Sudershankriya for the duration of 5 days and the effect of Sudershankriya was assessed on the stress levels of the participants and the stress levels were compared before the start and at the end of Sudershankriya. The stress levels were assessed by the Stress Questionnaire by ISMA UK–2013. At the end of 5 days of Sudershankriya, there was a drastic reduction in the stress levels of the participants. Both males and females showed improvement in stress but the females who had more stress initially benefitted more than males. Sudershankriya relieves stress and helps people to lead a happier and healthier life. It is a cost effective, well tolerated practice that can be inculcated in routine. Further studies on larger population and for longer duration of Sudershankriya are needed to be done to confirm the results.
