“…A systematic review conducted in 2020 by Wei-Li Wang et al, concluded that to manage sleep problems yoga could be more beneficial than non-active people (19) . Similarly, other studies prove yoga to be effective to improve the self-esteem and quality of life of yoga practitioners (20,21) . Our study findings are also in line with the previous evidence however in the present study participants were overweight or obese and were compared with the active group.…”

“…Increased weight, getting out of shape, and difficulty in performing the daily activities could directly lead to impaired quality of life. It can also cause psychological stress and this difficulty to regulate emotions can lead to low self-esteem which is commonly present in obese people (23) . A study conducted by Hyunwoo Kang et al, in 2021 showed that mindfulness yoga improves self-esteem and can be used as an alternative treatment strategy to manage psychological issues in middle-aged men (24) .…”

Objective: People with obesity have concerns related to their disturbed sleep and poor self-esteem which decreases their health-related quality of life. The study aims to see the effect of yoga on sleep quality, self-esteem, and quality of life among overweight and obese people. Method: A total of 46 overweight and obese subjects were recruited and randomly divided into Integrated Yoga (n=23) or Walking (n=23) groups. For the Yoga group, weekly 5 days one hour of Yoga was taught and the walking group was doing a one-hour walk for the same duration for 13 weeks. Loosening practices, asana, pranayama, breathing practices, and relaxation/meditation were taught to the yoga participants. Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire (PSQI), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RES), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) were used to assess sleep, self-esteem, and quality of life respectively. SPSS version 20 is used for statistical analysis. Finding: After 13 weeks of intervention and post-data collection in the Yoga group, paired t-test showed significant improvement in the scores for sleep quality p(>0.001); self-esteem p(>0.001) and quality of life p(>0.001). Whereas there was no significant improvement in the walking group compared to pre scores. After 13 weeks, the PSQI score (3.89±2.21) was reduced significantly in the yoga group than in the walking group (8.12±5.05), t(34) = -3.313, p=0.002. Also, RES score (20.84±4.56) was increased significantly in the yoga group than in the walking (16.12±3.52),t(34)=3.449,p=0.002. Novelty: Yoga practice improves the sleep quality, and self-esteem among the overweight and obese people when compared to walking. Quality of life can be improved with regular yoga practice. Further studies with larger sample size and long-term follow-up are warranted.

“…Yoga Nidra is a meditation technique including muscle relaxation, breathing practices, imagination, and resolve-making, which provides deep relaxation and experimentally has been proven to reduce stress levels (21). There are multiple pieces of evidence of improving self-esteem starting from school students (22), adolescents (23), university students (24), and middleaged women (25) life after introducing the yoga module as an intervention. The practice of a holistic approach to Yoga, including physical practices (asanas) associated with breathing practices (pranayamas) and meditation techniques, has a definite correlation with positive self-esteem and enhanced psychological well-being (26).…”

Background - Motherhood brings a lot of challenges especially for employed women worldwide. They face difficulties both at home and at the workplace. Eventually, they end up with emotional and psychological disturbances that lead to even compromise their career in some cases. Purpose - The objective of the study was to assess the effects of Yogic Intervention on parental guilt, psychological distress, anxiety, and self-esteem in working mothers. Methods - A sample of 39 working mothers (age 30 to 50) from different professions having symptoms of guilt, distress, and anxiety, had participated in a Randomized controlled trial pre-post experiment. They were allocated to the Yoga group (n = 22), had a 1-hour session, 5 days in a week for 1 month, and to the Control group (n = 17) with no such intervention. The measures included Guilt about Parenting Scale, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. Results - showed a significant difference in the reduction of parental guilt (p = .039), psychological distress (p = .014), and anxiety (p = .012) in the yoga group compared to the control group. In the case of self-esteem on average, the score had improved but was not significant enough. Conclusion - Regular practice of simple asanas with proper breathing, pranayamas, meditation, and relaxation techniques improve the mental and psychological health of working mothers. Further study is recommended with more sample count and a comparative study between working and non-working mothers can be executed.

BackgroundSchool refusal occurs in about 1–2% of young people. Anxiety and depression are considered to be the most common emotional difficulties for children who do not attend school. However, at present, no definitive treatment has been established for school refusal, although interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy have been used. This paper reports a protocol for a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a mindfulness yoga intervention for children with school refusal.MethodsThis study is a multicenter, exploratory, open cluster-randomized controlled trial. This study will recruit children aged 10–15 years with school refusal. After a 2-week baseline, participants for each cluster will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: with or without mindfulness yoga for 4 weeks. Mindfulness yoga will be created for schoolchildren for this protocol and distributed to the participants on DVD. The primary outcome is anxiety among children with school refusal using the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale-Children.DiscussionFor this study, we developed a mindfulness yoga program and protocol, and examine whether mindfulness yoga can improve anxiety in children with school refusal. Our mindfulness yoga program was developed based on the opinions of children of the same age, and is a program that children can continue to do every day without getting bored. In this way, we believe that we can contribute to the smooth implementation of support to reduce the anxiety of children with school refusal, and to the reduction of the number of children who refuse to go to school.
