A Review on How Hatha Yoga has the Potential to Improve Mental Health and Sleep

Ramesh Mishra

To date, there has been very restricted test research on the effect of Yoga on older adults’ mental health during the COVID-19 emergency. We aimed to explore the effect of a web-based Hatha yoga program on psychological and quality of sleep in older adults who self-isolated at domestic amid the initial stage of the COVID-19 outbreak. Two hundred volunteers of both genders were part into experimental (Yoga bunch, YG) and control (Control group, CG) groups, in a web-based randomized controlled study. All members were administered the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales and the Pittsburgh sleep quality file (PSQI); at standard and following an eight-week online Hatha yoga intervention. The proportion of people experiencing great sleep from the YG increased from 63% to 85% after the Hatha yoga intervention. The use of a web-based Hatha Yoga intervention program was related with a beneficial impact on the mental health and quality of rest in older adults.
