Author(s):

Manju Singh

Abstract:

Old age is a priceless stage of life filled with a variety of experiences in the progression of human existence, and every citizen must understand its significance. Elders play a vital role in the family and society. Life is a continuous process of overcoming difficulties or making adjustments. Depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness are among the most prevalent mental health issues among the elderly. Yoga was developed and first practised in India thousands of years ago. It is a way of life or an integrated system for the body, mind, and inner soul. The current study was carried out to assess yoga's impact on elderly’s mental health. The investigation is being conducted using a phenomenological research method. According to results, practising yoga frequently helps to promote happiness and reduce difficulties with both physical and mental health. It is recommended that Yoga should be considered as the most important, effective tools available for human being to overcome various physical and psychological problems.
