ABSTRACT
The major aim of this research study was to explore the effect of yoga on stress and mental health of the senior college level students. A sample of 40 college going students (age 19-22 years) was selected purposely from Aurangabad District, Maharashtra. Data were collected by using the mental health Inventory (MHI) developed by Jagdish and Shrivastav and Student Stress Scale developed by Husain, Rashid, and Jahan (2006) was used. In present research paired t-test was applied for data analysis. Results showed that practice of yoga in a day to day life contributes significant enhancement of mental health and considerable reduction of daily stress. Therefore, it was concluded that making yoga a part of one’s routine would help students in dealing with stress and improving their mental health.
