Abstract
Present study attempts to explore the effects of Classical Yoga Intervention (CYI) on the resilience of college students who migrate to cities from rural areas for the sake of education. Students in the study belonged to the age group of l6-18 years and were in their first year in the new city, Pune. They were pre-tested on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) (2003). Experimental and control group were equivalent on resilience before the intervention. Classical Yoga Intervention consisting of 40 sessions of Yoga was conducted on the experimental group. After 40 sessions, post testing was done. Differences in gain scores of experimental and control group on resilience were tested using independent 't' test. Results revealed that experimental group was significantly higher than the control group on factor 1 (t=-2.99, p=.00, factor 2 (t=-2.09, p=.04), factor 4 (t=-2.43, p=.02) and total score of resilience (t=-3.14,p=.00). Results showed that CYI has been helpful in enhancing students' resilience.
