Discovering and promoting ways that improve adolescents’ psychological fitness has been a recurrent concern in the field of health and psychology. Adolescence, as a period of transition, is highly prone to have mental health risks and unhealthy behaviour patterns. Thus, it is the right time to promote healthy practices to prevent problems of health and behaviour in adulthood. As Yoga provides practical solutions for mental health, we anticipated that exposure to it should improve psychological fitness among adolescents. In order to achieve mental, spiritual, and physical well-being, yoga seeks to achieve harmony between the internal and external surroundings. It improves subjective wellbeing and happiness as well as mental health. The present study looked on the relationship between yoga and emotional intelligence in this context. The 1200 individuals in the current study, 600 of whom had never done yoga and 600 who had, were chosen by convenience sampling. Data were gathered using a semi-structured interview schedule and the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test. The data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Spearman's rank order correlation. The results demonstrate that there are significant differences in emotional intelligence between yoga practitioners and non-practitioners. There are yoga practitioners.
