Abstract

Background: This experimental research study aimed to investigate the effects of Yogic Lifestyle Modifications of Mitahara and IAYT on Visceral Fat and other psycho-physiological parameters in a sample of perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Methods: The study employed a pre and post-test design with a 2-group study. Convenience sampling was done for participation in either of the experimental groups, which engaged in 4- week interventions of Mitahara and IAYT. Assessments of Visceral Fat, Stress levels, Anxiety levels, Pulse rate, Respiratory rate and Blood Pressure were done before and after the intervention.

Conclusion: The findings revealed significant improvements in both the groups in all the parameters except Blood Pressure where IAYT showed better results than Mitahara. These results suggest that Mitahara and IAYT can be effective practices for promoting overall physical and mental health and wellbeing in perimenopausal and menopausal women.
