Introduction
• Yoga is primarily a spiritual science.
• Healthy life & worldview is a by-product of its practice.
• It is essential that paramedics are physically, mentally &
spiritually healthy.

Materials and Methods
• Yoga training was given to undergraduate physiotherapy
students of Mother Theresa Post Graduate & Research
Institute of Health Sciences (MTPG & RIHS)
• Various psycho-physiological parameters were studied to
scientifically validate training.

Materials and Methods
• Integrated Yoga sessions comprising of: jathis (loosening practices), kriyas
(breath-body coordination practices) along with asana, pranayama,
contemplation & relaxation
• Conducted for 15 (12 F & 3 M) students twice weekly for 12 weeks.
• Anthropometric, cardiovascular, heart rate variability (HRV), reaction time
and psychological parameters measured before and after training period
• Statistical analysis done using Students t (paired) test.

Results
Significant reductions following the
training :
• weight
• BMI &
• hip - waist circumference

• All resting cardiovascular parameters reduced significantly
• Significant shortening of auditory and visual reaction time.
• Improvements were noted in all HRV parameters & there
was enhancement of quality of life index (QOL) scores &
retrospective wellness scores.
Results

Discussion
• Change in Anthropometric parameters may be attributed to an
improved metabolic activity due to regular practice of the
technique.
• It indicates a better autonomic regulation of the heart with
decreased oxygen consumption and load.
• Improved central neuronal processing.
• Improvement in HRV and QOL indices.

Conclusion
• Our study gives preliminary evidence of positive
psychophysiological benefits of Yoga training in a graduate student
population.
• Improvements in anthropometric, cardiovascular & neurological
parameters, coupled with positive changes in HRV and QOL
indices signify a healthier state of body & mind.

Meaning : The bandhas are an important part of asana practice. The Sanskrit word Bandha means to hold, tighten or lock. The bandhas aim to lock the Pranas in particular areas and redirect their flow into Sushumna Nadi for the purpose of spiritual awakening. Bandhas are the ‘body locks’ that are held by tightening and lifting of certain muscles of the body. Types of Bandhas: Jaladhara bandha (throat) Uddiyana bandha (abdomen) Moola bandha (located in the perineum) Jalandhara Bandha – The Chin Lock : Jalandhara bandha is one of the energetic locks used in a Hatha Yog practice. It is also known as ‘chin lock’. The Sanskrit meaning of Jala is ‘web’ or ‘net’ and dhara means ‘holding’. It is performed by extending the neck and elevating the sternum before dropping the head so that the chin may rest on the chest. Method : Jalandhara Mudra  Sit erect in meditative pose like Padmasana or Siddhasana.  Place the palms on the knees and make sure that the knees are touching the floor.  Close your eyes and relax the body. Breathe normally.  Now inhale slowly and deeply and then hold the breath.  Bend the head forward so that the chin touches the chest between the two collar bones notch/pit of the sternum.  Straighten the arms and press the knees down with the palms to create a kind of locked position. The shoulders are slightly forward to make sure the arms stay locked.  Hold this position as long as you are comfortable. Remember that the breath is held inside. Beginners should hold the breath for just a few seconds. Later it can be increased to a minute or more depending on your capacity.  To release the lock bend the arms, raise your head and exhale out. Come back to the straight position and take a few normal breaths.  Repeat the process as many times as you feel comfortable. Benefits It stimulates the thyroid and the para thyroid glands. Thus regulates the body metabolism. Jalandhara Bandha helps to activate the throat (Vishudhi) chakra. It prevents the Prana Shakti from moving upwards. It increases the blood flow in the brain. Jalandhara Bandha is one of the three yogic locks that have to be mastered before attempting the Maha Bandha or the triple lock. Precautions Avoid in high or low blood pressure, heart diseases. Avoid in stiffness of neck, cervical spondylitis & spondylosis. Never force your chin to touch the notch/pit of sternum. Uddiyana Bandha- The Flying Up Lock The word Uddiyana in Sanskrit means - to fly up, or to rise up. This ‘flying up lock’ means- flying upwards of one’s internal energy i.e. Prana. Method Sit erect in any meditative asan and keep your palms on the knees. Relax whole body by closing the eyes. Inhale slowly and gradually then exhale completely so that abdomen moves inwards as much as possible with one breath. Then perform Jalandar bandha. Upper abdomen moves inwards underneath the rib cage with chest moving outwards is called Uddiyana bandha. Hold this position comfortably as

It is well established that stress weakens our immune system. Scientific research in recent times has showed that the physiological, psychological and biochemical effects of Yoga are of an anti-stress nature. Mechanisms postulated included the restoration of autonomic balance as well as an improvement in restorative, regenerative and rehabilitative capacities of the individual. A healthy inner sense of well being produced by a life of Yoga percolates down through the different levels of our existence from the higher to the lower producing health and wellbeing of a holistic nature.

1. Introduction to yoga:- The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root “Yuj” meaning to bind, join, attach, to direct and concentrate one's attention on, to use and apply. It also means union. It is the true union of our will with the will of God. The system of yoga is so called because it teaches the means by which the j1vatma can be united to, or be in union with the Paramatma, and so secure liberation (moksha). Yoga has also been described as wisdom in work or skill full living amongst activities, harmony and moderation. The term “yoga” in the western world often denotes a modern form of Hatha yoga and a posture based physical fitness, stress relief and relaxation technique, consisting largely of asanas. Yoga is particularly classified into 4 periods of innovation, practice and development:- a)Pre – classical period. b)Classical period. c)Post – classical period. d)Modern period. According to classical and modern period, yoga are divided into 12 types:- 1.Hatha yoga. 2.Sivananda Yoga. 3.Vinyasa yoga. 4.Viniyoga. 5.Ashtanga yoga. 6.Kundalini Yoga. 7.Power yoga. 8.Yin Yoga. 9.Bikram Yoga. 10.Jivamukti Yoga. 11.Iyengar yoga. 12.Anusara Yoga.

Introduction: Charles Warner wittily said, “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” In modern times, we all seem to talk so much about Yoga, but don’t do anything about experiencing it! “Atha yoganushasanam” says Maharishi Patanjali in his very first verse implying that Yoga is something to be experienced through mindfulness. We can never really ‘do’ Yoga, but we can prepare ourselves for the ‘experience’ of Yoga. Yoga is an experiential science, and Vairagya the key to develop objectivity towards subjective experiences obtained through Abhyasa. Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga: We can experience states of expanded consciousness through Hatha and Jnana Yoga relaxation techniques as codified by Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri in the tradition of Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga. This is now popularly known as Gitananda Yoga in tribute to this great master who played a significant role in bridging modern science and spirituality. This wholesome system focuses on Yoga as a “Way of life” encompassing cultivation of wholesome lifestyle, adoption of health promoting diet, development of unbiased attitudes with bountiful practices for positive health. Four-fold relaxation: A systematic and conscious adoption of attitudes results in deep experiential states of relaxation. 1. Letting go: We need to let go of our prejudices and preconceived notions. 2. Giving up: We must develop a firm desire to give up our stresses. This does not mean defeat, but is to throw off any tensions that turn us into a smoking volcano. This is a positive, relaxing and evolutionary process. 3. Giving in: A positive process of opening up to dictates of Higher Consciousness. 4. Giving over: The highest stage of relaxation where control of mind is given over to the Self. One thus merges into beautiful super-conscious states indescribable in words. Conclusion: Swamiji taught us that ‘we’ are the source of our problems. If we are to solve them, we need to change our attitude. An egocentric perspective will never be able to change anything as all the ego wants to do is survive at any cost (Abhinivesha). The Yoga Dristi (perspective) offers a more elevated and conscious perspective of life that enables us to convert our seemingly insurmountable problems into mere molehills.

If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. And if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. Aim to lose one to two pounds a week to ensure healthy weight loss. Losing weight too fast can take a toll on your mind and body making you feel sluggish, drained, and sick. When you drop a lot of weight quickly, you’re actually losing mostly water and muscle, rather than fat. Reduce your daily calorie intake by replacing soda, alcohol, or coffee with water. So by drinking water, you may avoid consuming extra calories. Exercise is a dieter’s best friend. It not only burns calories, but also can improve your resting metabolism. Research shows that three 10-minute spurts of exercise per day are just as good as one 30-minute workout.

Aim and objective: This pilot study was done to determine cardiovascular effects of a single session of an integrated ‘Silver Yoga’ program in senior citizens of Serene Pelican Township, Pondicherry. Methods: Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) measurements were recorded in 124 senior citizens (75 female, 49 male) with mean age of 67.19 ± 10.61 y who attended an integrated ‘Silver Yoga’ program at CYTER from August to October 2014. Participants practised the protocol that was specially designed for senior citizens, keeping in mind their health status and physical limitations. This included simple warm ups (jathis), breath body movement coordination practices (kriyas), static stretching postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayamas), relaxation and simple chanting. Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) apparatus was used to record the HR, systolic (SP) and diastolic pressure (DP) before and after the 60 minute sessions. Pulse pressure (PP), mean pressure (MP), rate-pressure product (RPP) and double product (DoP) indices were derived from the recorded parameters. Student’s paired t test was used to compare data that passed normality testing by Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test and Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test for those that didn’t. P values less than 0.05 were accepted as indicating significant differences for pre-post comparisons. Results: All parameters witnessed a reduction following the single session. This was statistically more significant (p < 0. 0001) in HR, RPP and DoP while it was also significant (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05) in SP and PP respectively. The decrease in MP just missed significance (p= 0.054) while it was not significant in DP. Conclusion: There is a healthy reduction in HR, BP and derived cardiovascular indices following a single yoga session in geriatric subjects. These changes may be attributed to enhanced harmony of cardiac autonomic function as a result of coordinated breath-body work and mind- body relaxation due to an integrated “Silver Yoga” program.

EFFECTIVENESS OF ADJUVANT YOGA THERAPY IN DIABETIC LUNG: A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL Balaji Rajasekaran1, Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani2, Meena Ramanathan3 1 Assistant Professor, Centre for Yogic sciences, Aarupadai Veedu Medical Colleges, Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation, Pondicherry 2 & 3 Director and Deputy Director, Centre for Yoga Therapy, Education and Research, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherry. E-mail of presenter: balaji.rajasekaran@avmc.edu.in Abstract: Context: Recent studies provide ample evidence of the benefits of yoga in various chronic disorders. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and Sandler coined the term “Diabetic Lung" for the abnormal pulmonary function detected in diabetic patients due underlying pulmonary dysfunction. Yoga therapy may help in achieving better pulmonary function along with enhanced glycaemic control and overall health benefits. Aim: To study the effect of adjuvant yoga therapy in diabetic lung through spirometry. Settings and Design: Randomized control trial done as interdisciplinary collaborative work between Yoga Therapy, Pulmonary Medicine and Endocrinology departments of MGMC & RI, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth Puducherry. Materials and Methods: 72 patients of diabetic lung as confirmed by spirometry (<70% of expected) were randomized and divided equally into control group who received only standard medical treatment and yoga group who received yoga training thrice weekly for 4 months along with that. Yoga therapy protocol included yogic counseling, preparatory practices, Asanas or static postures, Pranayama or breathing techniques and relaxation techniques. Hathenas of the Gitananda Yoga tradition were the main practices used. Spirometry was done at the end of the study period. Data was analyzed by Student’s paired and unpaired ’t’ test as it passed normality. Results: There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in weight, BMI along with a significant (p < 0.01) improvement in pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC) in yoga group as compared to control group where parameters worsened over study period. Conclusion: It is concluded from the present RCT that yoga has a definite role as an adjuvant therapy as it enhances standard medical care and hence is even more significant in routine clinical management of diabetes, improving physical condition and pulmonary function.

Aim and objective: This pilot study was done to determine effects of a single session of yogic relaxation on cardiovascular parameters in a transgender population. Methods: Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) measurements were recorded in 106 transgender participants (mean age of 23.86 ± 7.87 y) attending a yogic relaxation program at CYTER, MGMCRI. Participants practised a series of techniques consisting of quiet sitting, om chanting, mukha bhastrika, nadi shuddhi, brahma mudra, pranava pranayama in sitting posture and savitri pranayama in shavasana. HR, systolic (SP) and diastolic pressure (DP) were recorded before and after the 60 minute session using non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) apparatus. Pulse pressure (PP), mean pressure (MP), rate-pressure product (RPP) and double product (DoP) indices were derived from recorded parameters. Student’s paired t test was used to compare data that passed normality testing and Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test for others. P values less than 0.05 were accepted as indicating significant differences for pre-post comparisons. Results: All recorded cardiovascular parameters witnessed a reduction following the session. This was statistically more significant (p < 0. 0001) in HR, MP, RPP and DoP and significant (p = 0.002) in SP. Conclusion: There is a healthy reduction in HR, BP and derived cardiovascular indices following a single yogic relaxation session in a transgender population. These changes may be attributed to enhanced harmony of cardiac autonomic function as a result of mind-body relaxation program. It is suggested that an open and non-hostile environment is conducive for obtaining such a state of psychosomatic relaxation and that such opportunities for transgender participants should be created in all healthcare facilities.

Background: Pranayama has been assigned very important role in yogic system of exercises and is said to be much more important than yogasanas for keeping sound health. Also different pranayamas produce divergent physiological effects. Aim: To study the effect of 12 weeks training of slow and fast pranayama on handgrip strength and endurance in young, healthy volunteers of JIPMER population. Settings and Design: Present study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, JIPMER in 2011-12 (1.06.11 to 1.04.12). Materials and Methods: Total of 91 volunteer subjects were randomised into slow pranayama (SPG) (n=29), fast pranayama (FPG) (n=32) and control groups (CG) (n=30). Supervised pranayama training (SPG - Nadisodhana, Pranav pranayama and Savitri pranayama; FPG - Kapalabhati, Bhastrika and Kukkuriya pranayama) was given for 30 minutes thrice a week for 12 weeks to both slow and fast pranayama groups by certified yoga trainer. Hand grip strength (HGS) and endurance (HGE) parameters were recorded using handgrip dynamometer (Rolex, India) at baseline and after 12 weeks of pranayama training. Statistical Analysis Used: Longitudinal changes in each group were compared by using Student’s paired t-test. Delta changes in each group were analysed by ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc analysis. Results: In SPG significant improvement occurred only in HGE parameter from 83.95±45.06 to 101.62±53.87 (seconds) (p<0.001)>0.05). Conclusion: Pranayama training decreases sympathetic activity, resulting in mental relaxation and decreased autonomic arousal thereby, decreasing force fluctuations during isometric contraction. This is reflected as improvement in HGS and HGE.

Background: We were granted the opportunity to impart a 6 month comprehensive course of yoga training for nursing students. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of the training on the participants´ health and quality of life (QoL) Materials and Methods: 60 healthy nursing students (12 M, 48 F) aged 18.60 ± 0.67 (SD) y were recruited, and 60 min of yoga training was given twice weekly, for 6 months. Selected biochemical and hematological parameters were recorded along with Ferrans and Powers QoL index before and after the training period. QoL was also tested at mid term. Because we were not able to establish a separate control group, we correlated changes with the subjects´ frequency of attendance. Results: Post intervention statistical analysis (repeated measures of ANOVA) revealed highly significant and beneficial changes in most hematological and biochemical parameters. Major findings are enhanced bone marrow function, reduced allergic tendency, alkalization of urine, metabolic reconditioning (with special emphasis on liver function) and improvement in all QoL indices. These changes correlated positively with the subjects´ frequency of attendance, as evidenced by Pearson‟s linear correlation testing. There were also significant improvements in QoL index and its subscales, both at mid training and post training. These improvements also correlated positively with attendance. Conclusion: The present study provides evidence of the beneficial psychological and physical effects of yoga training amongst graduate nursing course students . We suggest that yoga be made an integral part of medical and paramedical collegiate education. This paper was published in the International Research Journal of Pharmaceutical and Applied Sciences 2013; 3(6): 17-23.

ABSTRACT: “Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,” said Rudyard Kipling. This dichotomy however seems to have been overcome in recent times, as many eastern healing traditions have slowly and steadily percolated the health care system worldwide. This is especially true of mind–body therapies that focus on the health promotive intrinsic connections that exist between the human brain, mind, body, and individual behaviour. This includes techniques of meditation (mantra meditation, mindfulness meditation, and others), qi gong, tai chi, and yoga. This article appeared in the Annals of SBV 2014; 3 (1): 29-41.
