Item Efficacy of yoga on molecular and systemic homeostasis in type 2 diabetes mellitus: studies on short and long-term yoga practitioners(S-VYASA, 2020-01) Singh, Amit; Tekuru, Padmini; H. R., NagendraBackground: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a highly prevalent public health problem newlinefor significant cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe, characterized by disruption newlinein glucose homeostasis, systemic homeostasis, inflammation and genetic expressions. Yoga is newlinea mind body medicine shown to have several health benefiting effects. There is lack evidence newlinefor efficacy of Yoga in improving systemic homeostasis and molecular level in patients with newlineT2DM. newlineObjectives: Present study is intended to assess efficacy of Yoga on glucose homeostasis newlinethrough short-term Yoga intervention and multi-centric randomized controlled study and newlineassessed the role of Yoga in improving systemic homeostasis and epigenetic modification newlinethrough a cross-sectional study. newlineMethods: This study included three different studies 1) Multi-centric study on 251 T2DM newlinepatients who were randomized into a Yoga group (n=137) and a control group (n=114). newlineParticipants in the Yoga group received 3-month Yoga intervention and control group newlinefollowed daily routine.

Data were analyzed in SPSS version 16. newlineResults: There was a significant decrease in FBS and PPBS in both multi-centric trial and newlineretrospective study. In the long term-cross sectional study Yoga practitioners had a better newlinehomeostasis status compared to non-practitioners. The number of patients in the Yoga group newlinehad better organ functions, positive changes in gene expression and lesser complications newlinewhen compared to T2DM patients of non- Yoga group.Item EFFECT OF YOGA ON COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WORK BEHAVIOR(S-VYASA, 2016) Dwivedi, UmeshThe present study inspected the viability of yoga practices in lessening counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and its predictors, such as, aggression and negative affectivity (NA), and in enhancing positive affectivity (PA). Variables utilized as part of this study were aggression, NA, PA and CWB. Study test comprised of two groups and they were the yoga and the control groups, having 80 subjects in each group with subjects those who showed involvement in CWB were included. Yoga module covered āsana (postures), prāṇāyāma (breathing techniques), dhyāna (meditation), and yogic theories for yoga group. Mild to moderate level of physical activities and management theories were included for the control group. Duration of the intervention was ten weeks comprising five days session per week. Pre and Post measurements were implemented in an identical manner at the baseline and end of the interventions. BACKGROUND: CWB is a subject of critical significance to numerous organizations since it poses expansive number of psycho-social results and negative performance for organization and its individuals and it results in enormous direct financial losses and other indirect losses to the organizations. Personality traits of people, additionally impact CWB on the grounds that these people settle on conscious decisions to choose whether to follow these practices. Anger has been shown to have link between both physical and verbal aggressive behavior and hostility. Similarly, interpersonal aggression has been linked to many psychological end results, such as, anxiety, depression, frustration, and stress. If these practices are not controlled, they can result in social, physiological, psychological, and damages in organization. Studies demonstrated that hostility and NA have moderating impact on the relationship between CWB and different work related stressors. Aggression is additionally identified with substantial health issues and weaknesses. NA is characterized as the level to which people undergo different emotional states which are not in their favour. NA as variable at work is related to personality and it is crucial for the person who encounters it and it may be problematic for his or her colleagues. High NA can incorporate sentiments of anger, hatred, blame, fear, and nervousness. Negative feelings with higher tendency to moral disengagement, have been found to result in creating more CWB. Yoga is known for its impact on the body and the mind. Yoga sessions are known for its constructive outcomes on psychosomatic issues and quality of day to day life. Yoga sessions have illustrated being advantageous in positive improvement of affectivity which can lead to effect of diminishing NA and enhancing PA. Yoga practices have been examined before to lessen the parameters of hostile behaviors and negative emotions. Mindfulness is about monitoring inner and outer stimuli by observing the act of life in non-judgmental way. Earlier researches suggest that PA is adversely identified with hostility, NA and CWB. These are typically common attributes of psychological issues. To put it plainly, yoga gives both physiological and mental advantages including: lowered mental distress, perceived stress and enhanced well-being; enhanced function on measures of attention; enhanced cognitive functions; enhanced quality of life; increased positive moods and decreased negative moods. In the present study, role of yoga in reducing aggression, NA and CWB has been studied in detail. This may play a key role that organizations can actualize as a preventive measures to diminish CWB.
