Item Retrospective Analysis of HRV in Patients with Common Mental Disorders (CMD) following intensive Yoga Based Lifestyle Intervention(SVYASA, 2018-09-07) Sanjeev Gupta; Subramanya PailoorItem IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF SLEEP SPECIAL TECHNIQUE ON HRV IN YOGA PRACTITIONERS(SVYASA, 2019-09-27) CHAITANYA SHARMA; V. Sureshbabu; Rajesh S.KItem ADD-ON EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT YOGA MAT MATERIALS ON THE AUTONOMIC FUNCTIONS OUTCOMES OF YOGA PRACTICES(SVYASA, 2019-09-24) Sridhar R; B. Ragavendrasamy; Rajesh S.KBackground In order to practice yoga sadhana, a yoga mat is often recommended to provide some level the characteristics such as grip, balance and comfort (the mat must allow the user to practice without feeling the ground). And often biomechanical investigations are conducted to assess grip, balance and comfort. However, yoga mats have never researched upon from the perspective of its add-on effects. Aim The aim is to study the influence of various yoga mats made of Cotton, Rubber and Kuça grass on the outcomes of yoga practice. Materials and Methods Sixteen self-declared healthy male volunteers, with six or more months of practice to undergo two experimental states i.e., nadi-shudhi pranayama and breath awareness on three different yoga mat types: Rubber, Kuça and Cotton on consecutive six days. The autonomic variables were assessed in the six sessions. Frequency domain and time domain analysis of HRV data was carried out. Results and Discussion The results indicate that, Kuça grass mat appear to offer better change across the HRV spectrum. Autonomic nervous system is more stable when one uses Kuça mat compared to cotton and rubber mat. The results indicate a significant increase in LF-HF ratio during and immediately after performing the pranayama while seated on cotton and rubber mat. Interestingly, no significant changes were noted in the Kuça grass mat. Conclusion There is definitely a positive change in the HRV spectrum after performing pranayama while seated on Kuça grass mat compared to rubber & cotton mat.

Affecting major group of population. Yoga is a mind body intervention. Bhramari Pranayama is yoga based breathing practice proven to have positive impact on physiology and psychology. AIM: The study intended to see the immediate effect of bhramari pranayama on cardiac autonomic variables in patient with hypertension. Materials and methods: 24 Hypertensive subject within age range 30-60 years. Who visited arogyadhama Svyasa campus to attend one week residential yoga program for hypertension .All the subject where trained in practice of Bhramari pranayama for 3 days. On fourth day 12 of subject underwent Bhramari Pranayama and remaining 12 went for Breath Awareness, and on fifth day the intervention was inter changed in between the group. Heart Rate, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) were accessed using non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring system and ECG. Results: In Yoga Group we found a significant improvement in systolic blood pressure (p<0.02,-2.08%), Heart rate (p<0.04,-1.61%), LF (p<0.004,-26.26%), HF (p<0.02, 20.01%) and LF/HF ratio (p<0.007,-34.41%).and non-significant improvement in diastolic blood pressure (p>0.08,1.43),RMSSD(p>o.16,15.67%),NN50(p>0.73,11.14%),Mean RR(p>0.15,-1.89%) and PNN50(p>0.65,9.58%). In Control Group systolic blood pressure (p<0.02,-2.08%) and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.008,2.97%).were increased significantly. LF (p>0.10, 12.92%), LF/HF ratio (p>0.20, 46.15% and Mean RR (p>0.52, 0.54%) were increased. Heart rate (p>o.45,-0.45%), HF (p>0.11,-16.12%), RMSSD (p>0.84,-2.53%), NN50 (p>0.49,-7.60%), PNN50 (p>0.54,-8.94%) were decreased. Post intervention comparison between groups showed significant difference in LF (p
