The purpose of the Random group experimental study was to find out the effect of yogic practices on systolic blood pressure and anxiety among middle aged women suffering with hypothyroidism. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences due to yogic practices on selected physiological and psychological variables such as Systolic blood pressure and Anxiety among middle aged hypothyroidism women than the control group. For the purpose of the study, 30 middle aged hypothyroidism women were selected randomly from Chennai, between the age group of 45 and 55 years and they were divided into two groups A and B having 15 subjects in each. Pretest was conducted for the two Groups (A and B) on the selected dependent variables before the start of the training program. Group A was given yogic practices; Group B (Control Group) didn’t receive any specific treatment, but in active rest. After the experimental period of eight weeks, the two Groups (A and B) were retested again on the same selected dependent variables as posttest. Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences between experimental group and the control group. The results of the study proved that the Experimental group showed significant differences than the control group on the selected physiological and psychological variables due to yogic practices. The hypothesis was accepted at 0.05 level of confidence Hence, it is concluded that yogic practices are beneficial to middle-aged women with Hypothyroidism to decreased systolic blood pressure and to reduced anxiety.
