Abstract [English]

The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of Ashtanga Yoga practices and music therapy on Systolic Blood Pressure among Gestational diabetic women. The study was conducted on 45 Gestational diabetic women Totally three groups, namely, control & experimental group I & II, consisting or 15 Gestational diabetic women underwent six weeks practice in Ashtanga Yoga practices and music therapy whereas the control group did not under go any type of training. The Systolic Blood Pressure was measured before and after the experimentation using the Standardized Test to measure the Systolic Blood Pressure. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA) and it was concluded that the Ashtanga Yoga practices and music therapy had significant (P < 0.05) effect on the Systolic Blood Pressure level.
