Effect Of Yoga Practices On Psychological Well-Being And Academic Performance Among College Student

Yoga is a part of Indian culture and religion. It is believed that yoga is originated in Bhärata and yoga symbols were found in Indus Valley civilization also (Sports Digest, 2009). Yoga is science of awareness for living with purity which involves all parts of yoga (Swami Chinmayananda, 1984). Yoga works as catalyst for general well-being (Satyananda, 2008). According to Iyengar, "Yoga is the true union of our will with the will of God". Most people know that the practice of yoga makes the body strong and flexible. Yoga is essentially an art of understanding all about the soul and to realize the SELF. Yogic practice energizes and heals the body, mind and intellect and is associated with psychological wellbeing (Nagendra, et al., 2010). Yoga is a mind and body practice that teaches becoming self-aware which witnesses the actions of college learners (Mahesh, et al., 2019). Yoga opens the door for mind to act as slave through self-awareness and easiness. It eliminates superficial sense of life and mystifies inherent and innate recognition (Tripathi, et al., 2018). Yoga removes mental knots to enhance the attention timing during graduate study. Awareness of inside stuff and outside makes realizing the distractions in college students which in turn increases the attention duration (Sugumar and Ponnuswamy, 2018).
