A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF THE YOG PARICHAY COURSE ORGANIZED BY JANARDHAN SWAMI YOGABHAYSI MANDAL, NAGPUR FOR SNDT WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDENTS

Yoga is recognized for its potential to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With increasing stress and academic pressures, many universities have started incorporating yoga into their curricula to support holistic student development. The Yog Parichay Course, organized by Janardhan Swami Yogabhaysi Mandal, Nagpur, for SNDT Women's University (WU) graduate students, is a focused intervention aimed at improving students’ overall well-being through structured yog education. This research seeks to explore the course's impact on the 80 graduate students in terms of physical health, mental well-being, academic performance, and overall life satisfaction.

Despite the widespread integration of yoga into educational institutions, there is limited empirical research evaluating the specific outcomes of such programs. In particular, little is known about how yoga courses affect female graduate students’ physical health, mental state, and academic success. This study has assessed how participation in the Yog Parichay Course impacts these areas for SNDT WU students.
