Experimental study shows significant reduction in perceived stress for professionals practicing yoga, suggesting its benefits in workplace settings.
The current study explores the effectiveness of yoga in reducing perceived stress among working professionals. An 8-week intervention was administered to two groups: a yoga intervention group and a control group, each with 30 participants. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) was used to assess stress levels before and after the intervention. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in perceived stress levels in the yoga group (p < .001) compared to the control group (p = .03). These findings support the implementation of yoga in professional settings as a cost-effective and accessible stress management strategy.
