Abstract
Arthritis, obesity, depression, and other health issues plague the elderly. Pranayama is a stress-relieving technique that also helps in relaxation. The goal of this study was to see how well Pranayama can help those who are depressed. Ethical clearance has been completed. Obtained the participants' consent. After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 60 geriatric subjects (55-75 years old) were recruited from the selected areas of Hutti, Raichur District of Karnataka. It was a study that was akin to a controlled experiment. Group A (experimental) and group B (control) were the two groups of participants (control). For 12 weeks, group A Received Pranayama such as anulomaviloma and brahmari, whereas group B received standard breathing exercises. Results: The unpaired t-test was used to analyse the data.
