N2 - Students at a Midwestern University participated and completed the short survey form of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21) at the beginning and end of a semester-long yoga class. The class was taught by an experienced yoga instructor and included physical postures (asana), breathing practices (pranayama), and meditation (including yoga nidra). The classes met twice a week over a 16-week semester and each class lasted for 50 minutes. The participants showed statistically significant declines in depression and anxiety. Stress also decreased, but the results were not statistically significant.
