Results: Pulmonary function test was done before and after three months of yoga and meditation. In our study mean value of FVC and FEV1 are
increased in all age groups of control and study (P<0.05) after the intervention of yoga and meditation. FEF25–75% is increased and statistically
significant (P<0.05) in study group. But no significant changes were observed in blood pressure and heart rate.
