Item Effect of short duration integrated classroom yoga module on physical fitness, cognitive performance, emotional well being and personality characteristic measures of school children(SVYASA, 2022-05-13) ATUL SINHA; Sony KumariTwo themes in children’s education have received a great deal of attention in the last few decades. One concerns the stresses children face, leading to a high prevalence of child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) issues. The other is a disturbing trend in dysfunctional youth behavior. These themes have led thinkers to advocate giving weightage to social emotional learning (SEL), educating the whole child and focusing on character education along with academic knowledge. This thinking reflects, to a large extent, the Indian ethos of education, as articulated by thinkers like Swami Vivekananda and J Krishnamurti, and, as seen in the ancient Indian gurukula system of education. The present study hypothesized that the purpose of equipping children with the power of concentration, SEL and good character may be well served by meaningfully integrating yoga with education. Its purpose was threefold: 1. To build a theoretical model of yoga in education based on ancient yogic knowledge and modern scientific research. 2. To develop and validate a school-based short duration Integrated Classroom Yoga Module (ICYM). The present study observed that though schools were aware of the benefits of yoga, most had either not incorporated yoga in the school curriculum or had done so sub-optimally, usually one class a week. The reasons ranged from lack of time, a packed schedule and the need for resources like yoga rooms, yoga mats and trained yoga instructors. An efficacious short duration ICYM could potentially overcome such challenges and pave the way for yoga’s inclusion in the daily schedule. 3. To provide empirical evidence of the effect of the short duration ICYM on physical fitness, cognitive performance, emotional well-being and personality characteristic measures of school children through a methodologically rigorous study.Item Impact of SMET yoga program on organisational citizenship behaviour, positive affectivity, negitive affectivity and occupational stress of employees : A randomised Controlled study(SVYASA, 2022) JYOTHI VASU; Sony Kumari; H. R. Nagendra; K. B. AkhileshBACKGROUND: Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) is a newly emerging concept in the stream of organizational behavior. In today’s global competitive world, any and every organization wants to have excellent employees those who do not only work hard but also display discretionary behaviours, positive traits, good interpersonal relationship, supportive team work, self-motivation to collectively achieve organizational goals and success. Despite an increasing number of studies on OCB, not many unifying works are focused on the improvement of the same. Here we also study about two most important personality traits namely Positive affectivity and Negative affectivity of employees in an organisation. AIMS and OBJECTIVES: This study seeks to investigate the impact of Self-Management of Excessive Tension yoga program on Organisational Citizenship Behaviour, Positive and Negative affectivity and Occupational stress (OS) of the employees.

V.; Sony Kumari; K. B. AkhileshItem EFFECT OF YOGA PRACTICES ON PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS(SVYASA, 2021-08-05) MAHESH NARAIN TRIPATHI; Sony KumariBACKGROUND An academic ecosystem of campus students in college is intermediate evolutionary time at the time of commencement. Undergraduate learners are registered to achieve the highest degree result with trueness. Challenge of college students in academic success depends upon their psychological wellbeing ((PWB). Impact of excellence in education is reason for ‘A’ grade job in our country in any field of the employment. Good job makes the students ‘on life’ instead online if unemployed in high tech era of digital technology. College students can deal with any challenge in future if they are studying with true self. Studying with true self will enhance self-empowerment to manage crucial periods during student life. Academic is a potent factor especially in tenure of college life. Employment is the hope after finishing the graduation in modern era. Trueness in the campus life is the base for highest quality of net result as well as employment. Psychology wellbeing focuses inner happiness instead superficial. Practice of yoga enhances knowledge and simultaneously allows letting go off all the hurry and worry of frustrated life by creating the awareness. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Aim and objective of the present research was to ascertain: - Effect of Yoga practices on psychological wellbeing in college students - Effect of Yoga practices to assess academic performance - Impact of Yoga to get gender wise analysis for psychological wellbeing as well as academic performance - To find out correlation between psychological wellbeing and academic performance After intense scientific review, I could not get study which propels the psychological wellbeing as well as academic performance in college students. There was no Yoga based study which enhances the psychological wellbeing as well as achievement in education. Separate research confirms that college students are more mentally disturbed (Bewick et al., 2010). The lacuna of the present-day education system remains that there are no mechanisms to facilitate college students to lead the college life with good psychological wellbeing and higher academic performance. However, the ancient Yoga based education has been able to inculcate human values, culture and promote psychological wellbeing of not only the individual but also of a society. METHOD Complete research was experimental and divided in two groups. Groups design was named as pre-test – post-test. 180 students (100 girls and 80 boys) as sample were taken randomly from 300 college students. PARTICIPANTS Subjects were selected from TSR & TBK College, Gajuwaka town, Visakhapatnam city, Andhra Pradesh. DESIGN Research was designed with pre-post computation as well as randomized control. ASSESSMENTS Ryff Scale of Psychological Wellbeing (RPWB) Academic Success Inventory for College Students (ASICS) INTERVENTION Subjects were practiced by yogic discipline. Training duration was total 60 days. Base of the practice was taken according to tradition of Yoga and Üpaniñad. It involved sürya namaskära, äsana, kriyä, präëäyäma, loosening exercise, breathing application and meditation. Subjects were doing practice 5 days only in a week and time duration was 45 minutes. RESULTS Research about Ryff scale of psychological wellbeing showed using within group Wilcoxon signed rank test positive and significant increased (P <0.05) of all the dimensions of positive functioning in yoga group than control group slightly significant (P< 0.05) in two domains only. Research also revealed that none of the variables had significant difference between groups (P < 0.05) analysis using Mann-Whitney test. Environmental mastery (d2) was more significant in female students than male in psychological wellbeing. Result showed that autonomy (d1), environment mastery (d2) and self-acceptance (d6) were highly correlated in psychological wellbeing while Autonomy (Ryff d1) and personal adjustment (asics d1) And Environment mastery (Ryff d2) and carrier decidedness (asics d9) were correlated at 0.05 levels. ASICS result found that Yoga practices had positive effect on all domain of academic performance among college students, whereas control group have positive effect on only two domains of academic performance among college students while between groups were having significant change only in three domains. Female students in academic performance were more significant in personal adjustment (d1), lack of anxiety (d3), carrier decidedness (d9) and external motivation/current (d10). Personal adjustment (asics d1) was highly correlated with lack of anxiety (asics d3) and internal motivation / confidence (asics d5). CONCLUSIONS The present study concluded that 60 days of yoga training is effective in improving psychological wellbeing and academic performance among college students.
