The Impact of Pragya Yoga and Savita Dhyana on Stress Levels and Sleep Quality of Women

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Pragya Yogasana with Savita Dhyana on stress and sleep quality in women, aiming to assess their benefits on physical and mental health. Modern women face increased stress due to work, family, and social pressures, often leading to poor sleep. A randomized controlled trial assigned 30 adult women into two groups: the experimental group practiced Pragya Yoga with Savita Dhyana for 30 minutes daily over 30 days, while the control group received no intervention. Stress and sleep quality was measured before and after the intervention using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The experimental group showed significant reductions in stress (p<0.001) and notable improvements in sleep quality (p <0.001) compared to the control group. The combination of yoga postures with Gayatri Mantra chanting and focused meditation proved especially effective. These findings suggest that integrating Pragya Yoga and Savita Dhyana offers a practical approach to enhancing well-being. Further research is recommended to explore long-term benefits across diverse populations.
