Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by emotional turbulence, identity exploration, and academic pressure. During this phase, the ability to regulate emotions and maintain calmness greatly influences psychological well-being and performance. The present study investigates the impact of regular Pranayama practice on emotional control and relaxation among adolescents. A sample of 100 students aged 13–17 years participated in an eight-week Pranayama program that included daily practice of Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari, and Nadi Shuddhi for 30 minutes. Emotional Control Scale and Stress Relaxation Inventory were administered pre- and post-intervention. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in emotional regulation, reduced stress levels, and increased calmness among participants. The findings suggest that Pranayama, as a controlled breathing practice, enhances parasympathetic activity, self-awareness, and emotional stability in adolescents.
