ABSTRACT
School age is regarded as a very difficult stage in the process of development. Because of the changes that occur, this is regarded as a period of crisis. Well-Being refers to the state of a particular individual or a group of individuals. Increase in the level of well-being implies to some extent that the individual’s or the group’s condition or state is positive. Psychological well-being is often regarded as an integration of positive states like joy, happiness (hedonism) and states that lead to self-fulfillment (eudaimonic). Yoga aids in reducing stress, anxiety and thereby promotes sleep. Regular Yoga practice improves one’s well-being and to be aware of one’s own body. The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of Yoga Therapy on Psychological Well-Being among School students. The participants include 20 school students between the age groups 10-15 years. The results revealed that that the intervention has significantly increased the level of Psychological Well-Being among School Students and there is a significant difference in the post-test level of Psychological Well-Being among School students between the experimental group and control group. Yoga Therapy plays a vital role in maintaining and improving both physical as well as mental health. Using Yoga as an intervention, it shows a significant effect on improvising the Psychological Well-Being of School Students.
