The purpose of the random group experimental study was to find out the efficacy of Yoga Therapy with Ayurvedic Diet on Body Mass Index (BMI) and Testosterone among adult women suffering with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. For the purpose of the study, 30 Adult women with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome were selected randomly using random sampling method from Chennai between the age group of 20 and 35 years and they were divided into two groups I, and II with 15 subjects each.  It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences among the adult women with PCOS on selected physiological and hormonal variables such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and Testosterone than the control group. Preliminary test was conducted for two Groups on Body Mass Index (BMI) and Testosterone before the start of the training program. Group I subjects were given Yoga therapy for 60 minutes, 6 days a week for a total period of eight weeks along with Ayurvedic Diet. Group II (Control Group) were in active rest. After the experimental period, the two groups were retested again on the same selected dependent variables. Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. The test of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study proved that the Experimental Group showed significant differences on selected physiological and hormonal variables such as Body Mass Index (BMI)(Decreased) and Testosterone(Decreased) than the Control Group due to Yogic practices among adult women with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. The hypothesis was accepted at 0.05 level of confidence. Hence it is concluded that Yogic therapy with Ayurvedic diet are beneficial to the adult women with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome to maintain healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) and Testosterone.
