Background: In the context of higher education, student well-being and resilience are increasingly recognized as crucial components of academic success. Yoga, an ancient practice encompassing physical postures, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness, has garnered attention for its potential in fostering resilience and holistic health. This study investigates the relationship between yoga practice and resilience among students of Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, located in the Himalayan foothills, renowned for its integration of yoga and spiritual traditions. Recognizing the importance of resilience in student development, understanding the impact of yoga on resilience holds promise for enhancing student well-being and academic outcomes. Aim: The aim of this research is to explore the influence of yoga practice on resilience among students of Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya through a comparative analysis between yoga practicing and non-practicing students. The study seeks to uncover the potential benefits of yoga interventions for enhancing resilience and promoting overall well-being within the university community. Methodology: Employing a causal-comparative research design, this study examines the resilience levels of yoga practicing and non-practicing students at Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya. A sample of 120 students, divided equally into yoga and non-yoga groups, was selected using purposive sampling. Participants completed a standardized resilience questionnaire developed by Dr. Vijaya Lakshmi and Dr. ShrutiNarain, and data analysis was conducted using a two-sample independent t-test to compare mean resilience scores between the two groups. Ethical considerations were paramount throughout the research process, including obtaining informed consent and ethical approval. Findings: The comparative analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in resilience levels between yoga practicing and non-practicing students. Yoga practicing students exhibited higher mean resilience scores, suggesting that regular engagement in yoga practices may positively contribute to resilience development among university students. Conclusion: The findings underscore the potential efficacy of yoga as a resilience-building intervention within educational settings, highlighting its relevance in promoting student well-being and academic success. Incorporating yoga into educational programs may create a supportive environment conducive to resilience development and contribute to the holistic growth of students. |
