Item Effect of one-week IAYT on obesity using Electro Photonic Imaging(SVYASA, 2018-03-14) AMIT KUMAR; Judu llavarsu; Guru DeoBACKGROUND Obesity is the most challenging health conditions of the modern world and is spreading like an epidemic causing serious health hazards. The Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) instrument is becoming popular to measure subtle energy level in human subjects. The instrument Gas Discharge Visualization measures electron emission from fingertip. Variation in GDV image corresponds to changing health status in different organ system. Here we determined the characteristics of GDV image patterns in Obesity participants. AIM The purpose of the present study was to use Electrophonic Imaging Technique to assess the effect of one week integrating yoga therapy (IAYT) on obese participants. METHODOLOGY Thirty-seven obese participants with the age range from 20 to 60 years at Arogyadhama of SVYASA University, Bangalore India, had participated. They were given Integrated Approach Yoga Technique (IAYT) practices every day for one week according to Arogyadhama Schedule for Obesity section and GDV assessments were made before and after one week. Inclusive Criteria Age range 20 to 60 years, and obesity participants who are in Arogyadhama at SVYASA University in Bengaluru, India. Exclusive Criteria Anybody with cut finger, or self-reported psychological problems, were excluded. RESULT Data were not normally distributed, and we have conducted non-parametric Wilcoxon’s sign rank test to see within group differences. The GDV results showed changes in various variables (p < 0.05) like Endocrine system, Chakras, Digestive system, and Immune system. CONCLUSION GDV was found to be able to show distinct changes in variables related to obesity.Item EFFECT OF INTERGRATED APPROACH OF YOGA THERAPY ON DEPRESSION USING ELECTRO PHOTONIC IMAGING(SVYASA, 2018-03-14) MANOJ KUMAR MUKHARJEE; Judu llavarasu; Guru DeoItem EFFECT OF INTEGRATED APPROACH OF YOGA THERAPY(IAYT) ON ANTIOXDANT STATUS IN SUBJECTS WITH ARTHRITIS(SVYASA, 2021-04-09) SHUBHI TANEJA; Mithila M. V.Item Effect of integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) on psychological wellbeing in chronic low back pain patients(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Nayak, PadmanavaBackground: Chronic Low back pain is a big problem all over the world especially in City life, IT professions and is a leading cause of pain, disability and Psychological Distress in most countries worldwide. Design: Single group pre-post. Method: About 30 patients with LBP registered for a one week IAYT treatment at SVYASA, Holistic Health Centre in Bangalore, age range 20-60 of both gender were taken for the study. Pain and psychology related outcomes were assessed by the Visual analogue pain scale (VAPS), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form (OHQSF) and psychological well-being scale on chronic low back pain patients. At pre and post Yoga intervention. Data was analyzed using R studio, with Paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Result: After the one week intervention of Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) in Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) patients, the VAPS showed significant reduction (p<.001) the OHQSF also showed statistically significant increase (p>0.049) in happiness, but, in case of Psychological well-being, the improvement observed was not statistically significant ( p > .05)Item Effect of yoga on perseverative cognition and pulmonary functions in hypertensive patients: A single arm pilot study(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Lopamudra GuptaContext: Perseverative Cognition and prolonged stress is a new field of study associated with the prevalence of depression and anxiety with the possibility of a faulty breathing pattern adversely affecting the optimal functioning of the bodily systems. Yogic literature suggests the role of disturbed mind in deregulated breathing. However, no earlier scientific attempts have been made to understand their correlation. Aim: The aim of the study is to explore a possible relationship between Perseverative Cognition and Pulmonary functions in primary hypertension people and to understand the effect of Integrated Yoga Therapy in alleviating Perseverative Cognition. Design: Simple Pre-post study design. Methods: Participants with primary hypertension and not having any other complications, attending arogydhama integrated health-care centre were screened andnine subjects, both male and female, with the age range of 35-55 years were recruited for the study.They were investigated for their pulmonary functions, perseverative thinking and blood pressure at the start and at the end of 5 day therapeutic intervention. Results: There was a reduction in Core Ruminative Negative Thinking, Mental Capacity and Total Perseverative Thinking by 44.7%, 47.7%, 45.6% respectively and an improvement in Minute Ventilation, Tidal volume, Slow Vital Capacity and Expiratory Reserve Volume by 26.8%, 19.6%, 14.5% and 31.8% respectively. Conclusions: The pilot study shows the existence of a possible association existing between the pulmonary functions and perseverative cognition in hypertensive population.Item Effect of yoga on perseverative cognition and pulmonary functions in hypertensive patients: A single arm pilot study(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Lopamudra GuptaContext: Perseverative Cognition and prolonged stress is a new field of study associated with the prevalence of depression and anxiety with the possibility of a faulty breathing pattern adversely affecting the optimal functioning of the bodily systems.

The shift in epidemiology from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases indicates that the rural population is also at a high-risk for developing diabetes mellitus. Introduction The aim of present study is to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and high, medium, and low risk in rural population of Karnataka. Furthermore to study the effect of Integrated Approach of Yoga therapy on participants with Diabetes and high-risk population. Methods Within the chosen villages, people aged above 18 were surveyed using mobile application. Low, medium, and high risk for diabetes were graded using Indian Diabetes Risk Score. Following which 43 (diabetic=13, High risk=4, Medium risk =22, low risk=4) interested people attended yoga classes taught by trained therapist for 10 days. The module included breathing exercises, loosening, suryanamaskara, and asanas, meditation, and relaxation techniques. The assessments were carried out day one prior intervention as well as on 12th day. Vital parameters like FBS (using Hemocue machine), weight, waist circumference, Blood pressure were assessed. Psychological parameters such as Fatigue severity scale, Emotion Regulation scale, Satisfaction of life scale, and Sleep quality tools were used to measure the effect of IAYT. All the participants were asked practice regularly in home, every Sundays the therapist use to visit to monitor and encourage the practice. All parameters were again assessed after 5months.Item Effect of one week integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6 minute walk test, anxiety and sleep quality index in asthma patient a pilot study(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Sarungbam Joyshree ChanuEffect of one week integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6minute walk test, hospital anxiety and depression scale, breath holding time, and symptom score, in asthma patient - a pilot study Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. The chronic inflammation causes an associated increase in airway hyper-responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing at night or in the early morning. Most of the Yoga based studies have reported, significant improvements in pulmonary functions, quality of life, and decrease in medication use. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of yoga on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6minute walk test, hospital anxiety and depression scale, breath holding time, and symptom score of asthmatics. Methods: In present study 20 participants with the age range from 18 to 75 years from Arogyadhama, Bangalore was selected. Results: Showed significant change in PEFR (p<0.01) from 240 ±90.32 to 271.5±87.19 with 13.13%, in 6minWT (p<0.00) from 120.67±27.26 to 141.84±39.21 with 17.54%, and in HADS (p<0.009) from 13.5±7.74 to 8.45±6.41 with -37.41% respectively change. In SQI there in no improvement but disturbance of sleep and number of asthma attacks in night time get reduced. Conclusion: IAYT is effective in asthmaItem To study the prevalence and IAYT effect on diabetes and highrisk population in rural Karnataka – a survey and pre-post design(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Kumar, Praveen B.Background Rural India is currently experiencing a great spurt in lifestyle diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic heart disease.
