Abstract

The evidence reported in review articles, this study highlights the most recent research on the impact of yoga therapies on many aspects of mental and physical health. Collectively, these reviews point to a variety of circumstances in which yoga might be advantageous, although further research is necessary. However, certain meta-analyses show the benefits of yoga therapies, and a number of relatively high-quality randomized clinical trials (RCTs) show the advantages of yoga for pain-related impairment and mental health. Students frequently experience concentration and stress issues, which are indicators of academic challenges as well as other behavioral and emotional issues. Mind–body interventions such as yoga and meditation improve attention and reduce stress. In this study, we examined the impact of Hatha yoga on attention and stress. One important metric for assessing stress is cortisol.
