Objective: To determine if diverse and underserved populations report benefit from Yoga practices and report an intention to continue with Yoga, meditation, or breathing practices. Design: This was a retrospective study using archival data from exit questionnaires acquired at the end of Yoga programs serving diverse populations. Qualitative data was also collected from the Yoga teachers. Setting: Free Kripalu Yoga classes offered to diverse and underserved/underprivileged populations (e.g., minority groups, the elderly, gay populations), as part of the Teaching for Diversity (TFD) program through the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health (KCYH). Participants: 220 participants, ranging in age from adolescence through old age. Measures: Nine questions about the perceived benefits and usefulness of Yoga practices in everyday life were administered to participants on the last day of class. Qualitative data was collected from teachers regarding their experience teaching underserved populations. Results: Of the 220 respondents, 89% reported that the Yoga class left them with a feeling of overall wellness, and 83% found the practices helpful. 98% reported that they would recommend this Yoga class to others. Participants found the individual Yoga components of the breathing, Yoga postures, and meditation practices effective and said they were useful in their daily life. Pairwise t-test comparisons of average scores between these three practices indicated that participants were more likely to rate breathing useful as compared to either the postures or meditation (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Diverse and underserved populations report benefit from and interest in Yoga, meditation, and breathing practices.

Ananda Marga (AM) Yoga was taught to male inmates at Wake Correctional Center in Raleigh, NC. A five-year study of 190 inmates found that those who were taught Ananda Marga (AM) Yoga were significantly less likely to be reincarcerated upon release. Subjects were divided into two groups, those who attended at least one, but less than four classes, and those who attended more than four classes. Differences in reincarceration rates between these two groups during a two-year post-release period were striking. Of those who attended more than four classes, 8.5% were reincarcerated, while 25.2% of those who attended fewer than four classes were reincarcerated during this same period. This difference was found to be statistically significant at the 0.025 level.

Background: Health is the major concern of each and every individual. Being fit both physically and mentally is not an easy task. Yoga and meditation is considered as an optimal solution for the same. In Yoga, Yogi (person who does yoga) performs various asanas (body postures) which energize and refresh their body cells and keep them fit. The real purpose of yoga asanas and breathing techniques is to achieve optimal health possibly the best physical condition based on their life style, environment, age and genetics. Various clinical studies claim that yoga can provide improved mental and physical fitness rather than other physical training or stress management techniques. Objective: Our aim is to increase the performance of the postures of the Yogis, through yoga assistant kit with prediction intelligence which will assist the person to perform suitable yoga postures. This will help the Yogis to achieve more positive results in the practice of Yoga, with highest quality of meditation. The developed IoT kit consists of a hardware module (embedded in wrist band) and a mobile application. The yogi should wear the wrist band while practising yoga. The wrist band consists of various sensors like temperature sensor, pressure sensor, humidity sensor etc. which sense body parameters and store it in a central database. Using neural networks and embedded intelligence our system aims to predict the number of sun salutations a person (yogi) should perform based on the parameters collected from the kit. The results showed that our system works as a virtual trainer which suggests the yogi with the appropriate asanas to be performed based on present body conditions. Methods: It is safe to wear this light weight wrist band as it is made up of a cotton band. The components are embedded inside the band and is safe to use though it uses button cells as a power source. The system is charged by button cells. It is both economical and safe to use it as the kit is designed in such a manner that it doesn’t cause any sort of skin allergies or side effects. </P><P> Discussion: There is no standard yoga assistant kit available in the market as of now. So our proposed kit can assist the yoga performers to perform yoga in an efficient manner. The intention of our kit is not to improve the health of a yoga person instead it focuses on assisting the yoga person with a set of asanas to be performed at a particular body condition. The smart phone version provides live assistance for the yoga performer with relevant videos. The kit doesn’t consist of any expensive components and hence we can market this product in a nominal price. We performed a clinical study in Amrutha Yoga centre and the results showed that it is non allergic and safe to use for both kids and elder persons. Conclusion: Thus our proposed yoga kit will be an intelligent assistant for every yoga performer to practice yoga efficiently and effectively.

It is well known that human mind possess unbounded power. It has numerous extrasensory potentials like precognition, psychokinesis, extrasensory perception etc. According to Sriram Sharma Acharya, human mind is indeed a miracle of consciousness that can visualize and traverse anywhere in the infinite expansion of the cosmos in nanoseconds. It can acquire unlimited knowledge and is endowed with super natural potentials. In this study, it is theorized that supernatural powers of the mind can be attained by activating some extrasensory centers of human body with the help of some yogic exercises such as meditation and sadhanas. According to yogic texts, Agya Chakra referred as the ‘third eye’ or the ‘sixth sense’. The yoga shastras describe the position of the Agya Chakra in the inner core of the brain deep behind the bhru-madhya (center between the two eyebrows). The view of the expert of yoga, clairvoyance, telepathy, extra-terrestrial communication etc. can be bestowed by the activation of agya chakra. The exponents of dhyan-yoga regard Agya Chakra as the core of self-realization and the centre for the linkage of individual consciousness with the omnipresent supreme-consciousness. Indian rishi-munis who, by has deep contemplation of yogic sadhanas, they had awakened the supernormal powers of their mind and become the masters of many ridhi-siddhis. In this paper, researchers have made an effort to explore the techniques that one could attain the superhuman siddhis from the dedicated yoga sadhanas through activation of agya chakra, these sages of yore had done.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and metabolic changes observed immediately and 3 months after daily Yoga practices in a group of people with diabetes mellitus (DM). The study included sixteen women(3 with Type 1 DM, 12 with Type 2 DM, and 1 with type 2 DM treated with insulin; mean age 61 ± 11 years; DM history 21 ± 14 years) attending the Physical Activity Program at CENEXA – Center of Experimental and Applied Endocrinology (UNLP-CONICET, PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center), National University of La Plata School of Medicine, La Plata, Argentina. Group Yoga practices consisted in âsanas (postures), prânâyâma(breathing exercises), relaxation, and meditation techniques performed twice a week (27 sessions in all), complemented by daily individual sessions practiced at home the remaining days of the week. Data recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study included personal information, clinical and metabolic characteristics, type of treatment and control, and complications. Blood pressure(BP), heart rate (HR), and glycemia also were recorded at the beginning and end of 13 alternate sessions. Both attendance and compliance with the proposed schedule were high (> 80%), excepting 2 people who deserted but completed 50% of the study. There were no overall significant differences (beginning vs. end of the study) in BMI, HbA1, lipid profile, dietary plan, habitual physical activity practice, BP, and treatment schedule. Conversely, there was a significant decrease in HR (8 sessions; p < 0.03) and glycemia (10 sessions; p < 0.03) immediately after the Yoga sessions. The immediate positive effect of Yoga practices on glycemia and HR suggests that such practices would be beneficial for the treatment of people with DM.

This article describes the quantitative results of a study conducted at Maui Community Correctional Center in Hawaii. The program, Free Inside, was evaluated to determine its effectiveness as a rehabilitative tool for inmates. Each of the participants engaged in twelve-week cycles of twice weekly, hour-long classes in yoga, meditation, and chi gung practice. The findings reveal an association between inmate participation and increased awareness, self-esteem, sense of hope, and compassion. The authors recommend that similar programming become a part of the inmate experience in an effort to help rehabilitate and better prepare inmates for re-entry.

9531 Background: Insomnia (INS) is a highly prevalent side effect of hormonal therapy for breast cancer. Patients often turn to Rx sleep meds, which may lead to negative interactions with cancer therapeutics, dependency, rebound impairment, and do not cure INS. We conducted a secondary data analysis of a multi-site, phase III RCT examining the efficacy of yoga for improving INS and decreasing sleep medication usage among breast cancer patients currently receiving hormone therapy through the University of Rochester Cancer Center Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP). Methods: The original RCT randomized patients with any type of non-metastatic cancer without previous yoga participation into 2 arms: 1) standard care monitoring [controls] or 2) 4-week yoga intervention (2x/wk; 75 min/session) plus standard care. The yoga intervention utilized the UR Yoga for Cancer Survivors (YOCAS) program consisting of breathing exercises, 18 Hatha and Restorative yoga postures, and meditation. Only breast cancer patients currently receiving aromatase inhibitors (N = 95) or tamoxifen (N = 72) were included in this analysis. Changes in INS and sleep meds between the groups were assessed using ANCOVA with baseline values as covariates. Results: Despite using Rx sleep meds at baseline, INS, assessed by the Insomnia Severity Index, was worse for those women compared to women not taking any Rx sleep meds (Rx = 15.3 vs No Rx = 13.1; p<0.01). Yoga participants demonstrated greater improvements in INS compared to controls (CS=change score; Yoga CS = −3.3 vs Control CS = −0.5; p<0.01). In addition to improved INS, yoga participants significantly decreased Rx sleep med usage compared to controls (Yoga = −17.6% vs Control = −3.3%; p=0.04). There was also a trend toward lower combined Rx/Non-Rx sleep med use for the yoga group compared to controls (Yoga = −14.5% vs Control = −3.1%; p=0.09). Conclusions: YOCAS yoga is a safe intervention that significantly improves INS while concurrently reducing Rx sleep medication usage among breast cancer patients receiving hormone therapy.

9028 Background: Up to 50% of breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitor therapy report significant musculoskeletal symptoms such as joint and muscle pain, which decreases treatment adherence. We conducted a secondary data analysis of a multi-site, phase III randomized, controlled, clinical trial examining the efficacy of yoga for improving musculoskeletal symptoms among breast cancer patients currently receiving hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors [AI] or tamoxifen [TAM]) through the University of Rochester Cancer Center Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP). Methods: The original RCT randomized patients with any type of non-metastatic cancer without previous yoga participation into 2 arms: 1) standard care monitoring [controls] or 2) 4-week yoga intervention (2x/wk; 75 min/session) plus standard care. The yoga intervention utilized the UR Yoga for Cancer Survivors (YOCAS) program consisting of breathing exercises, 18 Hatha and Restorative yoga postures, and meditation. Only breast cancer patients currently receiving AI (N=95) or TAM (N=72) were included in this secondary analysis. Changes in musculoskeletal symptoms were assessed using ANCOVA with baseline values as covariates between the yoga and control groups. Results: Compared to TAM users at baseline, AI users reported higher levels of general pain (1-5 score: AI=2.65 vs. TAM=2.17; p=0.01), muscle aches (0-4 score: AI=2.14 vs. TAM=1.65; p=0.01), and total physical discomfort (0-24: AI=8.03 vs. TAM=5.92; p=0.01). Among AI users only, participants in the yoga group demonstrated greater reductions in general pain (CS=change score; Yoga CS= -0.37 vs. Control CS= +0.02; p=0.02), muscle aches (Yoga CS= -0.58 vs. Control CS= -0.15; p=0.03) and total physical discomfort (Yoga CS= -2.07 vs. Control CS= -0.58; p=0.04) from pre- to post-intervention than the control group. Conclusions: The severity of musculoskeletal symptoms was higher for AI users than for TAM users. Among breast cancer patients on AI therapy, the community-based YOCAS intervention significantly reduced general pain, muscle aches, and physical discomfort.

This study was designed to evaluate the impact of yoga based lifestyle intervention on coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. This multi-centric prospective study was held in the Saaol heart center in different cities (Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai, and Mumbai) of India from 1995 to 2015. In this study, total 5,000 CAD patients having co-morbidity of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes were enrolled. A yoga-based lifestyle modification counseling (consist the essential components; cardiac education, plant-based balanced diet, regular walk, yoga, and meditation) was administrated to study subjects and clinical assessment was done using Saaol safety wheel as a holistic tool. In the beginning, lifestyle modification counseling was provided every month for one year and after one year the counseling was repeated for every six months with clinical assessment till the end of the study. The results of this study demonstrate a significant improvement in angina with reduction of New York Heart Association (NYHA) angina classification score from 3.08±0.56 (mean±SD) to 2.45±0.70 and also reduce the intake of anti-anginal drugs from 4.36±1.35 to 3.82±1.20. In this study, a significant improvement was also observed in heart attack protection score from 56.68±13.53 to 104.13±14.55. After the adherence to yoga-based lifestyle modification counseling components and Saaol safety wheel, 98% study subjects showed the significant improvements in clinical outcomes (BMI, blood pressure, and lipid parameters) and cardiac patients reduced the risk of heart attack and cardiac events. This study concludes that yoga-based lifestyle intervention is a non-invasive effective treatment method to control and prevent cardiac risk factors in CAD patients. This type of holistic approach may help to reduce the rate of cardiac events and heart attacks but there is further long-term multicentric randomized controlled trials are required for better clinical outcomes.

Two pilot studies demonstrate that a comprehensive multimodality intervention of Transformative Life Skills (TLS) consisting of Yoga poses (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation (dhyana) can reduce perceived stress and increase self-control and self-awareness in at-risk and incarcerated youth. As part of a countywide violence prevention effort, Niroga Institute conducted daily 60-minute TLS programs at Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center (ACJJC). Additionally, a condensed 15-minute TLS protocol was implemented at El Cerrito High School, a large urban public high school. The effectiveness of TLS was evaluated using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Tangney's Self-Control Scale (TSCS-13). Statistical analyses indicate a significant improvement in stress resilience, self-control, and self-awareness among the youth exposed to Niroga's TLS protocols. These results have substantial relevance to education and community-wide violence prevention.

Purpose This study examines the impact of yoga, including physical poses, breathing, and meditation exercises, on quality of life (QOL), fatigue, distressed mood, and spiritual well-being among a multiethnic sample of breast cancer patients. Patients and Methods One hundred twenty-eight patients (42% African American, 31% Hispanic) recruited from an urban cancer center were randomly assigned (2:1 ratio) to a 12-week yoga intervention (n = 84) or a 12-week waitlist control group (n = 44). Changes in QOL (eg, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) from before random assignment (T1) to the 3-month follow-up (T3) were examined; predictors of adherence were also assessed. Nearly half of all patients were receiving medical treatment. Results Regression analyses indicated that the control group had a greater decrease in social well-being compared with the intervention group after controlling for baseline social well-being and covariates (P < .0001). Secondary analyses of 71 patients not receiving chemotherapy during the intervention period indicated favorable outcomes for the intervention group compared with the control group in overall QOL (P < .008), emotional well-being (P < .015), social well-being (P < .004), spiritual well-being (P < .009), and distressed mood (P < .031). Sixty-nine percent of intervention participants attended classes (mean number of classes attended by active class participants = 7.00 ± 3.80), with lower adherence associated with increased fatigue (P < .001), radiotherapy (P < .0001), younger age (P < .008), and no antiestrogen therapy (P < .02). Conclusion Despite limited adherence, this intent-to-treat analysis suggests that yoga is associated with beneficial effects on social functioning among a medically diverse sample of breast cancer survivors. Among patients not receiving chemotherapy, yoga appears to enhance emotional well-being and mood and may serve to buffer deterioration in both overall and specific domains of QOL.

Background: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is highly prevalent and the most costly cardiovascular illness in the United States. Yoga is known to be effective in lowering stress, lessening depression, and increasing physical fitness and may be used as an adjuvant management program for CHF patients. Primary Study Objective:To determine the feasibility of a yoga intervention program among a multiethnic CHF population living in underserved neighborhoods. Methods: Uncontrolled intervention trial. Setting: Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers,Richmond and Oakland, California. Participants: 14 CHF patients (7 female), mean age 64 (SD = 6.4) years, and 62% African-American. Intervention: Eight-week, 2x/week, 1-hr yoga classes that included meditation, breathing exercises, gentle yoga poses, and relaxation. Primary outcome measures: The intervention feasibility was measured by recruitment rates, participant retention and adherence. Body weight and self-reported depression and quality of life were measured before and after the intervention. Results: Among the 14 patients enrolled, 13 completed the intervention. Of those who completed the trial, 92% attended at least 50% of the classes. There was a significant reduction in weight (-3.5 lb, p = 0.01) and improvement in the severity of depression (p < 0.05), as well as a trend toward increased quality of life (p = 08). No adverse events were observed. Conclusions: This pilot trial demonstrates that it is feasible for patients with CHF to incorporate yoga into their lifestyle. Yoga may help with routine disease management, prevention of fluid retention, and improvement of depression and quality of life. A larger trial is needed to confirm efficacy and to determine the long-term effects on other important outcomes, such as hospital re-admission rates or prognostic biomarkers.

Objective: This pilot study examines iRest, a form of guided mindfulness meditation, and its ability to reduce symptoms associated with sexual trauma, including military sexual trauma (MST), in a sample of women seeking psychotherapy services at a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center. Methods: 90-minute sessions were held 19 times, twice a week for 10 weeks, except for the week with a holiday. Participants completed self-report measures Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI), Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory (PTCI), and the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Check List (PCL) pre- and post-treatment. Sixteen women were recruited: 15 enrolled, 5 dropped due to transportation issues, and 10 completed the protocol. Results: Completers reported significant decreases in symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PCL, t (9) = 3.17, p < 0.01, d = 0.66), negative thoughts of self-blame (PTCI t (9) = 2.96, p < 0.05, d = 0.52), and depression (BSI, t (9) = 2.33, p < 0.05, d = 0.64). Participants also offered verbal reports of decreased body tension, improved quality of sleep, improved ability to handle intrusive thoughts, improved ability to manage stress, and an increased feeling of joy. Participants also enthusiastically endorsed the class and stated they would take it again and recommend it to others. Conclusions: This small pilot study showed promising results for delivering iRest to women with sexual trauma in a VA medical center. Further research is warranted.

169 Background: The majority of patients with cancer incorporate integrative medicine strategies into their cancer experience however; patient reported preferences and impact on quality of life is limited. We present cancer patient utilization for specific integrative medicine modalities within the Mayo Clinic Arizona Comprehensive Cancer center and describe the patient perceived impact on quality of life. Methods: Patients and family members attending the 2015 Living with Cancer Symposium at Mayo Clinic Arizona completed a survey indicating whether specific integrative medicine modalities were utilized during cancer treatment and whether utilization had an impact on the patients perceived quality of life. Patient diagnoses and stage were collected. A total of 119 patient surveys were completed and analyzed. Results: The patient diagnoses included hematologic malignancies (27%), breast (25%), prostate (18%), and other (30%). Disease stage was nearly evenly distributed with stage I (21%), stage II (20%), stage III (16%), stage IV (15%), and unknown (28%). The most commonly utilized integrative modalities included nutrition (54%), natural product supplementation (34%), massage (33%), exercise (31%) including yoga (23%) and tai chi (1%), breathing and meditation interventions (26-28%), support groups (23%), and pet therapy (17%). The majority of patients (64%) reported integrative intervention utilization led to an enhanced quality of life during cancer therapy. Conclusions: At a single academic cancer center, in a cancer type and stage diverse population, the majority of patients (64%) reported improved quality of life during cancer therapy with integrative medicine intervention utilization. Nutrition, natural product supplementation, massage, exercise, and meditative modalities were most commonly utilized. Interestingly, a large proportion of patients analyzed in this questionnaire-based study were afflicted with hematologic disease, a population underrepresented in the current integrative medicine intervention research. More studies exploring the feasibility and impact of integrative therapies in the hematologic patient population are needed.

Yoga is a science that facilitates homeostasis, also alters the autonomic nervous system as well as cardiovascular functioning. It is recommended as a non-pharmacological tool for managing stress by “National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine India. Heart rate variability (HRV) a temporal variation in consecutive heart beats measured from a standard electrocardiogram. Being non-invasive technique has increased its use to measure the work load of individual. We assessed the effect of yogic exercise on resting HRV by using HRV software (AD-Instrument) in 20 healthy males of 18–20 years age both pre and post interventional. Practice of yogic exercise consist set of physical postures (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana). These were practised 35mins, 5times /wk for 6 months guided by certified yoga trainer. Analysis done by Student’s paired ‘t’ test of HRV revealed that all time domain parameters were increased while frequency domain parameters like low-frequency (LF) and LF/HF ratio were found to be decreased after practice of yogic exercise. Practicing yogic exercise has shown better improvement in autonomic balance by shifting towards parasympathetic predominance as suggested by resting HRV

Yoga is a multi-faceted spiritual tool enhancing health and well-being. Physical postures (Asan), regulated breathing (Pranayama), and meditations (Dhyana) are its main components. Breathing exercises of various types, particularly diaphragmatic breathing, alternate nostril breathing (anulom vilom), and kapalbhati have been noted to be useful in chronic asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), post-operative management in head & neck surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and upper abdominal surgery. Its calming effect reduces blood pressure and agitation in various psychiatric disorders also. Common types of breathing exercises which are easy to learn and practice for day to day fitness and prevention of disease are: equal breathing (bhastrika), clavicular breathing, costal breathing, and diaphragmatic breathing. kapalbhati, alternate nostril breathing (anulom vilom), bhramari pranayama, and tribandh breathing. These require proper learning under guidance. Ujjayi pranayama, sitali, and surya bhedan pranayama also require proper training and have a calming effect on the body. Various types of breathing produce their beneficial effects on the body when they are done regularly for the minimum recommended period. These exercises can be practiced in any comfortable posture on the floor or sitting on a chair. Regulation of rate and rhythm during its practice helps towards achieving meditation. Pranayama and Yoga have proven their utility in various diseases as noted in studies done in various medical centers. The western world also recognizes its importance and recommends it to their people. In India, health is given a low priority and outdoor physical activities are becoming less popular. In these conditions of living, Yoga and Pranayama (breathing exercises) are recommended for persons of all ages because these are easy to learn, simple to practice, and do not require any separate space or instruments. Regularity and execution in a proper way for the optimum time alone are needed for general well-being, better lung functions, and as a preventive measure for various respiratory and psychiatric disorders. In the present pandemic of COVID19, warranting house quarantine for a large number of people, this is going to prove a boon for physical and mental alleviation.

This article presents the argument that mindfulness-based meditation (MM) techniques are beneficial and share many of the same outcomes as similar mind-centered practices such as transcendental meditation, prayer, imagery, and visualization and body-centered practices such as progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), autogenic training (AT), and yoga. For example, many standardized mind-body techniques such as mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (a) are associated with a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression, (b) can be mastered in relatively brief time frames, and (c) are relatively cost-effective. Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies suggest that MM, along with other mind-body techniques, can influence brain centers that regulate stress reactions (e.g., eliciting increased activity in cerebral areas related to attention and emotion regulation). Furthermore, MM and other mind-body techniques may provide benefit by mediating breathing processes that in turn regulate gamma aminobutyric acid, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, which can quiet the overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system. This article compares the efficacy of mindfulness-based techniques to that of other self-regulation techniques and identifies components shared between mindfulness-based techniques and several previous self-regulation techniques, including PMR, AT, and transcendental meditation. The authors conclude that most of the commonly used self-regulation strategies have comparable efficacy and share many elements. The authors propose that additional research is needed to explore shared mechanisms among the self-regulation techniques and to identify any factors that might favor using one technique over another.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a highly prevalent disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Yoga is a form of mind-body intervention shown to have a positive impact on several health conditions in both healthy and diseased patients. The present study is intended to assess the effects of the Residential Integrated Yoga Program (RIYP) on blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM. Material and Methods: Data of 598 (186 females) T2DM patients from a holistic health center in Bengaluru, India, who attended a 15-day RIYP between January 2013 and December 2015 was obtained retrospectively. Average age of the participants was 56.45 ± 11.02 years. All subjects underwent a 15-day RIYP which involved yoga-based lifestyle changes with components of regulated sleep, balanced diet, asanas, pranayama, relaxation techniques, meditations, yogic cleaning procedures, and tuning to the nature. Fasting and post-prandial blood sugar, medication score, symptom score, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate were assessed before and after intervention. Result: There was a significant decrease in fasting (p < 0.001) and post-prandial blood sugar levels (p < 0.001) along with a significant reduction in medication and symptom scores after 15 days of RIYP compared to baseline. Conclusion: The present study indicates that 2 weeks of a yoga-based residential program improves blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and medication score in patients with T2DM. However, further randomized controlled studies need to be performed in order to confirm the present findings.

IntroductionA huge population in India is at high risk of type-2 diabetes (T2DM). Physical activity and a healthy diet (healthy lifestyle) improve blood glucose levels in people at high risk of T2DM. However, an unhealthy lifestyle is common among Indians. Yoga covers physical activity and a healthy diet and can help to prevent T2DM. The research question to be addressed by the main randomised controlled trial (RCT) is whether a Yoga programme for T2DM prevention (YOGA-DP) is effective in preventing T2DM among high risk people in India as compared with enhanced standard care. In this current study, we are determining the feasibility of undertaking the main RCT.InterventionYOGA-DP is a structured lifestyle education and exercise programme. The exercise part is based on Yoga and includes Shithilikarana Vyayama (loosening exercises), Surya Namaskar (sun salutation exercises), Asana (Yogic poses), Pranayama (breathing practices) and Dhyana (meditation) and relaxation practices.Methods and analysisThis is a multicentre, two-arm, parallel-group, feasibility RCT with blinded outcome assessment and integrated mixed-methods process evaluation. Eligible participants should be aged 18–74 years, at high risk of T2DM (fasting plasma glucose level 5.6–6.9 mmol/L) and safe to participate in physical activities. At least 64 participants will be randomised to intervention or control group with final follow-up at 6 months. Important parameters, needed to design the main RCT, will be estimated, such as SD of the outcome measure (fasting plasma glucose level at 6-month follow-up), recruitment, intervention adherence, follow-up, potential contamination and time needed to conduct the study. Semistructured qualitative interviews will be conducted with up to 20–30 participants, a sample of those declining to participate, four YOGA-DP instructors and around eight study staff to explore their perceptions and experiences of taking part in the study and of the intervention, reasons behind non-participation, experiences of delivering the intervention and running the study, respectively.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval has been obtained from the following Research Ethics Committees: Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Nottingham (UK); Centre for Chronic Disease Control (CCDC, India); Bapu Nature Cure Hospital and Yogashram (BNCHY, India) and Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA, India). The results will be widely disseminated among key stakeholders through various avenues.Trial registration numberCTRI/2019/05/018893.

e17528 Background: With increasing frequency, cancer patients and their family members are turning to the Internet to educate themselves about their disease and treatment options, including CAM and supportive care. However, very little is known about how national leading cancer centers represent these therapies via their websites. Methods: Simulating the patients’ perspective, we performed a systematic analysis of the websites of 41 National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated comprehensive cancer centers. Two researchers independently evaluated websites, recorded CAM information, and rated quality of the websites using a 4-item Likert scale (overall, information, presentation, and navigation) with Cronbach's alpha = 0.97. Rating was adequately correlated between the two raters (correlation coefficient 0.8). Results: Of 41 centers, 12 (29%) did not have functional websites with regards to information related to CAM. The most common CAM approaches mentioned were: acupuncture (59%), meditation/nutrition/spiritual support/yoga (56% for each), massage therapy (54%), and music therapy (51%). Twenty-three (56%) presented information on support groups, 19 (46%) on patient seminars, 18 (44%) on survivorship effort, and 17 (41%) on symptom management clinics. Twenty-nine (71%) of these websites had a telephone number available, 22 (54%) mentioned at least one ongoing research opportunity, and 19 (46%) provided links to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine website. Median rating of the quality of websites was 50 out of 100, with only 7 (17%) of centers receiving a composite score 80 (excellent) or better. Conclusions: While a growing number of leading cancer centers provide information about CAM and supportive oncology information for patients via their websites, the quality and ease of navigation of these sites remain highly variable. Effective development and redesign of many of the websites is needed to better inform and empower patients and families seeking CAM and supportive care information. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Objective. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) syndrome causes significant pain as an adverse effect of treatment, with few nonpharmacological interventions tested. A somatic yoga and meditation (SYM) intervention on functional outcomes and quality of life (QOL) was investigated. Design and methods. Individuals diagnosed with CIPN were enrolled in an open-label, single-arm, mixed-methods feasibility trial. Participants and Setting. In an outpatient rehabilitation center, ten participants with median age 64.4 years (47-81) attended 61% of the sessions with no adverse events. Intervention. SYM twice a week for 8 weeks for 1.5 hours, with home program and journaling. Main outcome measures. Primary functional outcomes included Sit and Reach (SR), Functional Reach (FR), and Timed Up and Go (TUG). Self-reported Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Neurotoxicity (FACT-GOG-NTX) were secondary CIPN outcomes. Biomarkers included salivary cortisol (stress) and bioesthesiometer (vibration). Results: Quantitative findings. Significant improvements were found in flexibility (SR; P = .006); balance (FR; P = .001) and fall risk (TUG; P = .004). PNQ improved significantly ( P = .003) with other measures improving non-significantly. Qualitative findings. Five themes emerged: (1) vacillation of CIPN pain perception over time; (2) transferability of skills to daily activities; (3) improvement in physical function; (4) perceived relaxation as an effect of SYM; and (5) group engagement provided a social context for not feeling isolated with CIPN. Conclusion. Preliminary data suggest SYM may improve QOL, flexibility, and balance in cancer survivors with CIPN, with a fully powered randomized controlled trial indicated.

Reflexology is a 4000-year-old art of healing practiced in ancient India, China and Egypt. In the beginning of the 20th century, it spread to the Western world. Reflexologic clinics and massage centers can be found all around the world. In spite of the widespread popularity, to the best of our knowledge, no serious research work has been done in this area, although much scientific research work has been carried out in other Eastern techniques like meditation and yoga. This is why a humble attempt is done in this work to quantitatively assess the effect of reflexological stimulation from a systems point of view. In this work, nonlinear techniques have been used to assess the complexity of EEG with and without reflexological stimulation. We prefer the nonlinear approach, as we believe that the effects are taking place in a subtle way, since there is no direct correlation between reflexological points and modern neuroanatomy.

According to Ray Oldenburg Third Place, refers to the place where people spend time between home ('first place') and place of work ('second place'). One example of a third place is a recreation center. According to Daniel D. Mclean, recreation can include a very wide variety of activities, including sports. Sports recreation is a type of sport that is intentionally done for personal gain, for fun. Life in a big city, like Jakarta, which is full of activities and routines can cause boredom and mental stress on the community. Based on data from the International Labor Organization, total working hours in a week in Jakarta increased in 2016 with a total of 32 hours compared to total working hours in 2006 of 27 hours and based on research from the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), Indonesia was in position 3 with the country with the worst balance between work and life with a figure reaching 14.3%. According to a psychologist, Kartasasmita, M. Psi, work is the highest cause of stress on a person. With Jakarta's condition like that, needed a facility that can accommodate the recreational and fitness needs of the community in the form of Third Place. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of life of urban communities, in terms of physical and psychological health and fitness. The design method used is comparison which refers to the Place theory in Architecture according to Christian Norberg Schulz. The main programs offered in this project include a fitness area, sports studio, spa, sauna, hydrotherapy pool, jogging track, bicycle track, yoga & meditation park, and supporting areas such as sports retail and dining areas. AbstrakMenurut Ray Oldenburg tempat ketiga (Third Place), mengacu pada tempat di mana orang menghabiskan waktu antara rumah ('tempat pertama') dan tempat bekerja (tempat 'kedua'). Salah satu contoh tempat ketiga adalah pusat rekreasi. Menurut Daniel D. Mclean, rekreasi dapat mencakup berbagai kegiatan yang sangat luas, termasuk olahraga. Rekreasi olahraga merupakan jenis olahraga yang sengaja dilakukan untuk kepentingan pribadi, untuk bersenang-senang. Kehidupan di kota besar, seperti Jakarta yang penuh dengan aktivitas dan rutinitas dapat menimbulkan kejenuhan dan tekanan mental pada masyarakatnya. Berdasarkan data dari International Labour Organization, total jam kerja dalam seminggu di Jakarta meningkat pada tahun 2016 dengan total 32 jam dibandingkan dengan total jam kerja pada tahun 2006 yaitu 27 jam dan berdasarkan penelitian dari Organisation For Economic Co-Operation And Development (OECD), Indonesia berada di posisi 3 dengan negara yang paling buruk keseimbangan antara kerja dan kehidupan dengan angka mencapai 14,3%. Menurut seorang psikolog, Kartasasmita, M. Psi, pekerjaan merupakan penyebab stress tertinggi pada seseorang. Dengan kondisi Jakarta yang seperti itu, diperlukan sarana yang dapat mewadahi kebutuhan rekreasi dan kebugaran masyarakat berupa Third Place. Tujuan proyek ini untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat perkotaan, dalam hal kesehatan dan kebugaran baik fisik maupun psikis tubuh. Metode desain yang digunakan yaitu komparasi yang mengacu kepada teori Place dalam Arsitektur menurut Christian Norberg Schulz. Program utama yang ditawarkan pada proyek ini terdapat area fitness, studio olahraga, spa, sauna, hydrotherapy pool, jogging track, bicycle track, yoga & meditation park, dan area penunjang seperti sport retail dan tempat makan.

Urban density not only affects city development but can also affect the routine of the people. Departing from this routine, a feeling of saturation and stress arises, so a break is needed. The interlude in question can be in the form of recreational facilities to get out of the hustle and bustle of urban dense. Productive groups are the most vulnerable groups experiencing saturation and stress. The space between the dense urban environment that can function as a recreational facility in an open space, which can also function as a social space in a dense urban environment, contains activities that are healthy not only physically but also mentally which are expected to help reduce stress levels. South Kembangan is one of the areas that have the highest density level in Jakarta because it is a western primary center area which means the South Kembangan area will become a center of activity, especially in the West Jakarta Region. Based on these problems, Kembangan Interactive Breathing Space is proposed with the main entertainment program which is divided into two facilities namely recreation and relaxation in response to the impact of stress generated from community routines. Recreational facilities are divided into three zones namely perform, playful and creative play zones in the form of plazas and playground areas while relaxation facilities in the form of zones containing activities to escape mental and physical fatigue such as yoga, meditation, and fitness facilities in the form of gyms and sports fields. Abstrak Kepadatan perkotaan tidak hanya mempengaruhi perkembangan kota saja tapi dapat berdampak juga pada rutinitas masyarakatnya. Berangkat dari rutinitas inilah kemudian muncul perasaan jenuh dan stres sehingga diperlukan adanya jeda. Jeda yang dimaksud dapat berupa sarana rekreasi untuk keluar dari hiruk pikuk padatnya perkotaan. Masyarakat golongan produktif menjadi golongan yang paling rentan mengalami jenuh dan stres. Ruang jeda diantara padatnya lingkungan perkotaan yang dapat berfungsi sebagai sarana rekreasi yang berada di ruang terbuka, yang juga dapat berfungsi sebagai ruang sosial ditengah padatnya lingkungan perkotaan, berisi kegiatan – kegiatan yang menyehatkan tidak hanya fisik tapi juga secara mental yang diharapkan mampu membantu mengurangi tingkat stress. Kembangan selatan merupakan salah satu wilayah yang memilki tingkat kepadatan yang paling tinggi di Jakarta karena merupakan wilayah sentra primer barat yang artinya wilayah Kembangan Selatan akan menjadi pusat aktivitas terutama di Kawasan Jakarta Barat. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut diusulkanlah Ruang Jeda Interaktif Kembangan dengan program utama entertainment yang dibagi menjadi dua fasilitas yaitu rekreasi dan relaksasi sebagai respon terhadap dampak stress yang dihasilkan dari rutinitas masyarakat. Fasilitas rekreasi terbagi menjadi tiga zona yaitu zona perform, playful dan creative play berupa plaza dan area playground sedangkan fasilitas relaksasi berupa zona yang berisi kegiatan untuk melepaskan diri dari kelelahan mental dan fisik seperti yoga, meditasi dan fasilitas kebugaran berupa gym dan lapangan olahraga.

e21629 Background: Integrative medicine uses complementary health approaches (CHAs) to improve wellness. Many patients use CHAs to manage acute and late toxicities of radiotherapy (RT). However, few patients disclose CHA use to their radiation oncologist. Patients acknowledge a need for improved education on CHAs and have shown interest in attending a hospital-based educational program. Here we assess the feasibility of implementing such a program and the associated patient-reported outcomes, including intention to disclose CHA use and patient satisfaction. Methods: A structured curriculum was designed as a collaboration between an academic institution’s integrative medicine center and radiation oncology department. Four one-hour lectures covered topics of meditation, yoga, massage therapy, and nutrition, each led by a topic expert. Lectures included didactic and interactive components. Individuals over age 18 and actively receiving RT were recruited by nurses, radiation therapists, and a designated study team member in the waiting room. Pre- and post-lecture surveys were used to assess patient characteristics, CHA use disclosure, satisfaction, and qualitative feedback. Results: 43 surveys were completed. The patient sample was 47% female, median age 63. The majority had breast or prostate cancer (60%). Of about 100 patients receiving RT each day, 5 to 7 attended each lecture. 36% of participants had disclosed their use of CHAs before the lecture; 67% intended to disclose their use after the lecture. 98% felt the lecture enhanced their patient experience with a median agreement of 8 on a 9-point Likert scale. Conclusions: This program is the first to increase satisfaction and CHA use disclosure. Patients expressed interest in learning simple, convenient, and effective tools to abate acute toxicities, rather than focus on chronic symptoms of remission and recovery. However, patient recruitment could not be effectively integrated into the clinical workflow. Attendance was limited by timing, transportation, and performance status. To increase reach and minimize cost, we suggest investigating a program that is integrated into the clinic visit or available in an online format.

Mobility of commuters is one of the factors that causing Jakarta's population density increases. Most of Jakarta residents and commuters spend time with routine activities such as work and study so they do not have free time to create a healthy lifestyle such as exercise and relaxation. This third place project is a facility to improve healthy life and as a layover place because it is supported by its location that is directly related to Jakarta mobility and activities center, named Rawa Buaya commuter train station which is directly connected with office activities. The facilities involve activities to fulfill human physiological needs (Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) in Asmadi (2008:18)) which includes rest, eating, exercise, and relaxation. Thus, the programs that use in the project is to increase physical wellness such as indoor and outdoor sleeping capsules, and food court; mental wellness such as yoga, meditation, zumba, spa, and sauna classes; and social wellness such as game stations, outdoor waiting areas, and charging stations. The design of the thrid place project uses the responses to site approach by considering the orientation to the location of the site at the corner of the road, pedestrian access, and the neighborhood or surrounding buildings. The method is used in forming building masses that pay attention to orientation and natural light, determine the main pedestrian access in the site, place programs near the surrounding functions, and make programs on the ground floor for the public. Keywords: mobility; respond to site; wellness AbstrakMobilitas komuter menjadi salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan kepadatan penduduk Jakarta semakin meningkat. Sebagian besar penduduk dan komuter Jakarta menghabiskan waktu dengan aktivitas rutin seperti bekerja dan belajar sehingga tidak mempunyai waktu luang untuk mewujudkan gaya hidup sehat seperti berolahraga dan berelaksasi. Proyek third place ini menjadi fasilitas peningkatan hidup sehat sekaligus tempat singgah karena didukung dengan lokasi yang berhubungan langsung dengan pusat mobilitas dan aktivitas masyarakat Jakarta yaitu stasiun kereta komuter Rawa Buaya yang terhubung langsung dengan aktivitas perkantoran. Fasilitas tersebut menyangkut kegiatan pemenuhan kebutuhan fisiologis manusia (Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) dalam Asmadi (2008:18)) yang meliputi kegiatan istirahat, makan, olahraga, dan relaksasi. Dengan demikian, program yang diangkat berupa peningkatan physical wellness seperti kapsul tidur indoor dan outdoor, serta food court; mental wellness seperti kelas yoga, meditasi, zumba, spa, dan sauna; serta social wellness seperti game station, outdoor waiting area, dan charging station. Perancangan proyek thrid place ini menggunakan pendekatan responses to site dengan mempertimbangkan orientasi terhadap lokasi tapak di sudut jalan, akses pedestrian, dan neighborhood atau bangunan sekitar. Metode tersebut digunakan dalam membentuk massa bangunan yang menyesuaikan orientasi dan memperhatikan cahaya alami, menentukan akses utama pedestrian di dalam tapak, meletakkan program-program sesuai dengan fungsi sekitar, dan membuat program di lantai dasar sebagai program bersama.

Abstract Background: Polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocytosis (ET), and myelofibrosis (MF) are chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) characterized by clonal cell proliferation, splenomegaly, and significant symptom burden. Integrative medicine interventions may offer unique symptom management strategies. (Gowin, et al., EHA 2017). Here we describe integrative interventions utilized and association with symptom burden, quality of life, depression, and fatigue adjusted for lifestyle confounders. Methods:Patients were recruited via social media. Consent and online self-report surveys were completed capturing patient demographics, disease-specific data, integrative medicine utilization, symptom burden via MPN-Symptom Assessment Form Total Symptom Score (MPN-SAF TSS), depression screening via Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2, fatigue via Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and overall quality of life (QoL). MPN-SAF TSS, QoL, BFI, and PHQ2 were compared by participation in the most frequently utilized interventions (Yes vs No). Intervention comparisons were adjusted for alcohol consumption, smoking status, BMI, current dietary modification, and MPN type using multiple linear and logistic regression. Results: Patients: A total of1087 patient surveys were consented. Of these, 858 had 10 or more responses. See Table 1 for patient characteristics. Integrative Medicine Therapies Descriptive Analysis: Integrative medicine therapies most frequently utilized by patients included aerobic activity (51.5%), massage (28.4%), yoga (25.6%), nutrition (25.2%), strength training (23.8%), acupuncture (19.3%), meditation (19%), breathing exercises (18.4%), chiropractic (16.2%), support groups (14.5%), mindfulness based stress reduction (13.6%), walking meditation (12.0%), pet therapy (9.4%), aromatherapy (8.6%), music therapy (8.0%), progressive muscle relaxation (7.0%), guided imagery (6.4%), homeopathy (6.3%), manual therapy (osteopathy/cranial sacral) (6.2%), reiki (5.8%), therapeutic touch (5.7%), Tai Chi (5.2%), art therapy (4.9%), traditional Chinese medicine (4.3%), Qigong (3.5%), cooking classes (3.0%), laughter therapy (2.9%), Ayurveda (2.4%), biofeedback (2.2%), dance therapy (2.1%), hypnosis (2.0%), resilience training (0.9%), IV vitamin therapy (0.8%), and narrative medicine (storytelling) (0.3%).Diet modification was reported in 47.7% of patients, including Mediterranean diet (19.0%), paleo/high protein/low carbohydrate (8.9%), vegetarian (8.6), plant based (5.2%), gluten free (5.2%), low FODMAP (1.8%), vegan (1.2%), and raw (0.6%) diets. Only 24% of patients reported receiving nutrition advice from their healthcare practitioner (HCP). Supplement utilization by MPN type was 162 patients (48.4%)in ET, 80 patients (42.8%) in MF, and 142 patients (45.2%) in PV. Overall, 20.6% patients reported not disclosing their natural product usage to their HCP. The most frequently utilized supplements included vitamin D, multivitamin, magnesium, omega 3, and calcium. Adjusted symptom association with integrative therapy intervention: MPN symptom burden: Aerobic activity (P=<.001)and strength training (P=.01) was associated with lower mean symptom burden. Use of massage (P=<001) and support groups (P=<.001) was associated with higher levels of symptom burden. QOL:Higher quality of life was reported in those receiving massage (P=.04)and support groups (P=.002). Lower quality of life was noted in those using aerobic activity (P=<.001)and strength training (P=.001). Depression (PHQ-2):Lower depression screening score was noted in those participating in aerobic activity (P=.006), yoga (P=.03), and strength training (P=.02). Fatigue (BFI):Lower fatigue was noted in those participating in aerobic activity (P=<.001) and strength training (P=.03). Higher fatigue was noted in those participating in massage (P=<.001) and breathing techniques (P=.02). See Table 2. Conclusion: In a geographically diverse MPN patient population, and when adjusting for healthy lifestyle practices overall, patterns of lower symptom burden, fatigue, depression, and higher QoL were revealed with integrative medicine utilization. Although limited by gender discrepancy and patient reported data, this study may offer a foundation to structure future integrative medicine trials to complement standard therapies in MPN patients.

BackgroundMindfulness based interventions (MBIs) have shown efficacy in improving psychological symptoms including depression and anxiety in cancer patients (pts). The study aimed to explore feasibility and reproducibility of MBIs in an Italian Cancer Centre measuring biochemical and psychological parameters.MethodsIn this pilot prospective case-control study, we recruited newly diagnosed pts receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (CT). A MBIs program was designed consisting of 2.5 hours weekly for 8 weeks and, including meditation, yoga and body scan. Material for 45 minutes (mn) home daily practice was provided. Primary endpoint was to evaluate feasibility. Secondary endpoints were assessment of quality of life (QoL), psychological and biochemical outcomes of stress, tested at baseline (W0), W4, W8, W24, W48. PSS (Perceived Stress Reduction), POMS (profile of mood states scores), EuroQoL (EQ-5D-3L) were administered.ResultsTen pts underwent MBIs program arm. We present preliminary results, while data of control arm are being collected. All pts were female, two pts (20%) dropped out. Median age was 56 years. All received adjuvant CT, 5/8 received radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Mean of sessions attending was 6.8 (76%). Median daily practice was 30 mn. EQ-5D item for depression and anxiety showed decreasing trend in mean score from moderate to light (P = 0.15) and significant improvement of auto-perceived QoL was observed comparing W0 and W8 (P = 0.02)ConclusionsIn a sensitive setting such as start CT, we found high pts compliance to MBIs. Improvement in self-perceived QoL after starting program was found and comparing anxious-depressive symptoms outcomes with control arm is still needed.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Recent neuroimaging studies of brain function have led to an explosion of knowledge about psychological processes and states. In this paper functional brain imaging studies of Yoga meditation are reviewed. Tantra-based meditations activate frontal and occipital cortical regions involved in focused, sustained attention and visual imagery. The overall pattern of brain activation in Tantra-based meditations is similar to that of self-hypnosis but different from that of sleep onset. Pure consciousness, the ultimate aim of Vedanta-based meditation, also activates frontal cortical areas regulating focused attention but deactivates sensory areas involved in imagery. Functional brain imaging studies thus support the distinction between meditation with conceptual support and pure-consciousness meditation without conceptual support, a distinction that appears throughout Yoga meditation texts. Brain imaging investigations also explain how Yoga therapy may be helpful to those with anxiety disorders by reducing activity in brain regions linked to the processing of negative emotions.

Background: Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of premature death and disability in adulthood, according to the World Health Organization. More than two-thirds of the adolescents aged 11-17 years are physically inactive in India as per WHO standards. Hence, school based Healthy life style curriculum development is the need of the hour for school children. The objectives of the study were to promote healthy lifestyle, by implementing school based intervention program (physical activity and nutrition education) for healthy body mass index among school children; to study the correlation between the body mass index and academic performance (secondary objective).Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in the randomly selected schools of Bagalkot. A total of 598 students in intervention group and 575 students in control group participated in the study. Baseline information about demographic characteristics was obtained using pre-designed proforma. For intervention group, multicomponent programme was implemented based on child and adolescent trial for cardiovascular health model and the comprehensive school health programme model by the USA, centre for disease control. After 2 years, post-interventional data was collected.Results: In pre-test intervention group majority of participants (37.4%) were having normal BMI, while 26.8% participants were obese. In post-test intervention group majority of participants (45.7%) were having normal BMI, while 23.1% participants were obese. In pre-test control group majority of participants (34.7%) were having normal BMI, while 27.1% participants were obese. In post-test control group majority of participants (38.7%) were having normal BMI, while 26.4% participants were obese. Majority of the students attained normal BMI after the intervention. BMI of the participants is negatively correlated to academic performance (r=-0.025).Conclusions: The life style changes such as physical activity, yoga and meditation are the need of the hour among the schoolchildren, helps in maintenance of healthy BMI.

This study compared acute (15 min) yoga posture and guided meditation practice, performed seated in a typical office workspace, on physiological and psychological markers of stress. Twenty participants (39.6±9.5 yr) completed three conditions: yoga, meditation, and control (i.e., usual work) separated by ≥24 hrs. Yoga and meditation significantly reduced perceived stress versus control, and this effect was maintained postintervention. Yoga increased heart rate while meditation reduced heart rate versus control (P<0.05). Respiration rate was reduced during yoga and meditation versus control (P<0.05). Domains of heart rate variability (e.g., SDNN and Total Power) were significantly reduced during control versus yoga and meditation. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were reduced secondary to meditation versus control only (P<0.05). Physiological adaptations generally regressed toward baseline postintervention. In conclusion, yoga postures or meditation performed in the office can acutely improve several physiological and psychological markers of stress. These effects may be at least partially mediated by reduced respiration rate.

AbstractObjectiveThe present systematic review aimed to explore the published literature on the application of yoga and meditation for tinnitus.MethodA systematic search was carried out to identify the eligible studies exploring the effect of yoga and meditation on tinnitus in PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane Library electronic databases. Studies on the application of yoga and meditation on tinnitus were identified following a three-step screening process by both the authors independently. A mixed-methods appraisal tool was used to perform the quality appraisal of the included studies.ResultsFive studies were shortlisted and included in the present review. Four studies had used different types of yoga and pranayama, while one used relaxation therapy. Three studies concluded that there were positive effects of yoga on tinnitus, such as a reduction in severity, stress, anxiety and irritability associated with tinnitus and improved quality of life.ConclusionThis review highlights the application of yoga and meditation in management of tinnitus along with regular otological and audiological treatment options. Furthermore, there is a need to have more randomised controlled trials in this area to evidence the effect of yoga and meditation on tinnitus empirically.

Background: Yoga and meditation hold promise as a non-pharmacological management of hypertension as they have shown to lower blood pressure. This study aimed at (1) assessing the awareness about benefits of yoga and meditation in hypertension among patients and finding its socio-demographic correlates, (2) estimating the practice of yoga and meditation in hypertensives, its pattern and impact on blood pressure control.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 hypertensive patients. Statistical association was tested with chi square and independent t tests.Results: It was observed that only 9% respondents were aware of the benefits of yoga and meditation in hypertension while 12.8% practised the same. On probing it was found that these 3.8% practised yoga and meditation only because their physician had advised them to do so without even knowing their benefits. This points out the importance of physician advice which can be even more effective if pros and cons are properly explained. People who were aware of the benefits were 51.9 times more likely to practise them (p<0.001). Highly significant association was observed between awareness regarding lifestyle modifications like yoga and meditation and gender, socioeconomic status, education and locality (urban non-slum/urban slum/rural).Conclusions: The complementary use of non-pharmacological treatment or lifestyle modifications like yoga and meditation can go a long way to lower blood pressure and such options need to be provided by the health care providers and the gap in awareness elicited in our study needs to be addressed.

Mind-body practices enjoy immense public and scientific interest. Yoga and meditation are highly popular. Purportedly, they foster well-being by curtailing self-enhancement bias. However, this “ego-quieting” effect contradicts an apparent psychological universal, the self-centrality principle. According to this principle, practicing any skill renders that skill self-central, and self-centrality breeds self-enhancement bias. We examined those opposing predictions in the first tests of mind-body practices’ self-enhancement effects. In Experiment 1, we followed 93 yoga students over 15 weeks, assessing self-centrality and self-enhancement bias after yoga practice (yoga condition, n = 246) and without practice (control condition, n = 231). In Experiment 2, we followed 162 meditators over 4 weeks (meditation condition: n = 246; control condition: n = 245). Self-enhancement bias was higher in the yoga (Experiment 1) and meditation (Experiment 2) conditions, and those effects were mediated by greater self-centrality. Additionally, greater self-enhancement bias mediated mind-body practices’ well-being benefits. Evidently, neither yoga nor meditation fully quiet the ego; to the contrary, they boost self-enhancement.

Die Yoga-Sūtren von Patañjali stellen die erste systematische Niederschrift indischer Yoga- Philosophien dar. Patañjali beschreibt darin den 8-gliedrigen Pfad des Yoga (aṣṭāṅgayoga), der in der Realisation der drei inneren Glieder der yogischen Sammlung (saṃyama) gipfelt: Konzentration (dhāraṇā), Meditation (dhyāna) und Versenkung (samādhi). Ein Zustand, in dem nur noch der Gegenstand leuchtet. Gerade so, als ob das Ich verschwunden wäre. Für Patañjalis Auffassung von Meditation ist charakteristisch, dass dieses meditative Sein zur Welt von den Menschen zwar nicht willentlich herbeigeführt, durch die Übung der fünf äußeren Glieder von Yoga aber sehr wohl tätig vorbereitet werden kann: durch die Einübung yogischer Verhältnisse zu anderen (1), zu uns selbst (2) und die Ausbildung einer yogischen Körperhaltung (3) und Atmung (4). All diese Praktiken machen uns reif für das Ereignis jenes Sinneswandels (5), der uns das innere Selbst schmecken lässt und damit die Tore für die yogische Sammlung (6-8) öffnet.

140 men ( M age = 30.3 yr., SD = 5.7) from the Indian army in north India participated in the study. They were naive to yoga and were assigned to yoga and breath awareness groups randomly, with 70 in each group. 20 healthy males of comparable age ( M age = 33.7 yr., SD = 7.0) formed a comparison group. Their performance in a digit-letter substitution task and a state anxiety subscale was assessed immediately before and after two 45-min. sessions. The two groups of soldiers practiced either yoga or breath awareness. The comparison group listened to meditation music. Digit-letter substitution scores increased in both groups of army personnel and in the comparison group. State anxiety decreased after yoga and listening to meditation music, but not after breath awareness. This suggests that even in army personnel naive to yoga, a yoga-based intervention or listening to meditation music could reduce anxiety while increasing performance on an attention task.
