Item Add-on effects of different yoga mat materials on the subtle energy outcomes of yoga practices(SVYASA, 2020-11-17) Srihari Maiti; B. Ragavendrasamy; Rajesh S. K.Item 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.

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.

R.BACKGROUND Bhramari Pranayama (BrPr) is one of the popular types of pranayama. BrPr, which is a yoga type meditation where periods of long exhalation and short inhalation are alternated. INTRODUCTION BrPr reduces stress and other threatening factors of memory and improves academic performance. The humming bee sound correspondingly with “N” kar chanting mentally results in increased alertness and also brings improvement in competitive performance. Further researches of the effects of BrPr practice should be made because of its beneficial influence on the population of the school students. The aim of the study is to study the effect of BrPr in academicals & mindfulness in rural children with low socio economic status. The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of BrPr on academic performance among children on lower socio economic status. METHODOLOGY The subjects were obtained from Government Higher Secondary School nearby Prashanti Kuteeram, Kallabalu village. This school has student base are from rural area & from low income group residing in and around the kallabalu village. Most of their parents are working in nearby industries or agricultural fields as laborer. Most of them have no transportation source from home to school. Either they walk or commute using bicycle. I have collected the data from a sample size of 80, under the age group of 10 to 14 years. The selected samples were divided into two groups, Intervention group consisting of 40 samples and the control group of 40. RESULT The mean scores of the yoga group on Post Mindfulness of control group show a statistically significant difference from that of Pre Mindfulness of yoga group with a very significant p value. However, the mean scores of the control group on Pre Mark status by control group differed statistically from that of Post Mark obtained by the yoga group with a p value. CONCLUSION The study concludes that practice of the BrPr can be a good instrument in improvement of the studying efficacy in school children of low socio economic status, while those with attention disorders can use them as the new method to overcome these very unpleasant limitations in studying and advancement, by improving the memory and awareness level.Item Effect of bhramari pranayama on metacognition and mindfulness in high school children(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Saumya BitlaPresent generation students face challenges in physical, intellectual, social, emotional and academic domains. As students’ progress to higher classes, high order thinking skills such as mindfulness and metacognition play a crucial role to surmount stress and improve their academic performance. Documented benefits of yoga seem to offer a viable solution within the classrooms. The study aims to investigate the effects of bhramari pranayama on metacognition and mindfulness among ninth grade students. Through a randomized controlled design, the intervention was given for four weeks with nine rounds of Bhramari Pranayama given six times a day before the commencement of classes. The variables were measured using the Jr. MAI (Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory) and CAMM (Child Adolescent Mindfulness Measure). Paired t-test analyses have shown a significant difference in the experimental and control groups with respect to metacognition (p < 0.001) and mindfulness (p < 0.033). It is concluded that Pranayama is beneficial in enhancing metacognition and mindfulness among high school children.Item Effect of bhramari pranayama on the mindfulness & academic performance of rural children with lower socio economical status(S Vyasa, 2017-01-14) Darshan, G.
