AbstractThis investigation was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Integrated Yoga Education on the post graduation students of a university of metro city. A pre and post research design was adopted for the investigation. A sample of 50 subjects from Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga of Shri Lal Bahadur Shashtri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya, Delhi NCR, was initially selected as representative sample. Out of them (50), 15 subjects (03 female + 12 male) selected on statistically unbiased manner. The subjects selected for the study are homogenous and administered on Study Habits Inventory (SHI) of Dr. M. N. Palsane and Dr Anuradha Sharma prior to commencement and completion of the Yoga education. The data analyzed on Sandler’s ‘A’ test for intra-group comparison with significance criterion of alpha = or p<.05. After one year of the Yoga education, the subjects of experimental group differed significantly on their five dimensions of out of the total eight Study Habits, viz. Budgeting Time(p<0.005), Reading Ability(p<0.005), Note Taking(p<0.005), Memory(p<0.0005), and Health (p<0.005) as compared to their pre-experimental stage on the Study Habits Inventory test. Three dimensions of study habits, which did not differ significantly are, Physical Conditions (p<0.05), Learning Motivation (p<0.05) and Taking Examination (NS). The results show that one year of Integrated Yoga Education (IYE) is beneficial in improving study habits of post graduate students which may aid in their academic achievement and excellence.
