Abstract:

In our ever-stressful world, the global recognition of Yoga's significance is undeniable. Amid skepticism, our study delves into the stress-alleviating potential of Yoga for college students. Utilizing a Stress Index model, our research demonstrates compelling evidence: practicing Yoga significantly reduces stress levels. Remarkably, this positive outcome is consistent across diverse socio-economic and demographic backgrounds, debunking skepticism. Our findings affirm Yoga as a universal stress-reduction tool, underlining its importance in promoting mental well-being among college students, regardless of their social or economic standing. This study not only validates Yoga's efficacy but also highlights its inclusivity and transformative impact on stress management.
