The aim of this research was to see how yogic practices affected heart rate in college women students. Thirty students from Government Arts and Science College, Mettur Dam, Salem, Tamilnadu, were chosen at random as subjects for the current study, and their ages ranged from 18 to 21 years. The participants were split into two groups of similar size. The experiment was set up as a true random group design with a pre- and post-test. The subjects (n=30) were divided into two groups of fifteen students each at random. In a similar way, the classes were assigned as pranayama practices group and control group. The post-tests were performed after the study group had participated for six weeks. The treatment impact of the training programs on all of the variables in the sample was tested using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Heart rate of experimental group reduced significantly when compared to control group.
