Abstract
A Regular Yoga practice is biennial in every state of life. Asanas and Pranayama should be practice regularly for the proper fitness of body and mind. Despite a growing body of research studies and some systematic reviews on the effects of yoga, there is still a lack of solid evidence regarding its relevance. Hence, a study with the objective to study the effect of one month yoga training on BMI and flexibility of college going girls was conducted. Total fifty (50) college girls; age ranging 18 to 21 years agreeing to do one month basic yoga training were randomly selected. They were given training of various asanas and Pranayam for total one month, six days a week and an hour a day. Height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) and flexibility of the girls were taken as the variables. From the findings of the study it was concluded that Yoga helps to loose weight and thereby reduce the overall BMI; increases flexibility and with long term of yoga practice more beneficial effects can be seen.
