Abstract

Stress, depression, anxiety and adjustment problem have been implicated as contributors so many chronic diseases and to decreased quality of life, even with pharmacologic treatment. Efforts are underway to find non-pharmacologic therapies to relieve stress, depression, anxiety, and adjustment problem, yoga is one option for which results are promising. Yoga is a mind-body exercise that combines both relaxation techniques and physical activity. Because of this unique approach, yoga has become a common tool for people with stress, depression, anxiety and adjustment. This research focused on comparative analysis of stress, depression, anxiety and adjustment problems among young adult yoga practitioners and non practitioners. In this study 60 young adult people of 20-30 years age were selected for data collection. Among them 30 (15 males and 15 females) candidates were yoga practitioners and other 30 (15 males and 15 females) candidates do not practice yoga. Perceived stress were assessed with the help of the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10 (Cohen Kalmar & Mermelstein, 1983), depression were assessed with the help of Beck Depression Inventory Scale (BDI-2), anxiety were assessed with the help of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI) and adjustment were assessed with the help of Bell Adjustment Inventory Scale (BAI). Data were analyzed with Mean, Standard Deviation and t-test of Independent sample. Results indicated that no significant difference was obtained between yoga practitioners and non-yoga practitioners in terms of their perceived stress, depression, anxiety and adjustment. The study reveals an area indicating that yoga can be an effective technique in reducing some of the psychological disturbances which are not usually deep rooted in nature. Suggestions for further study may be stated that yoga can be an alternative mode of treatment if provided with other measures, can have beneficial effect for the sufferers.
