简要总结
In the university environment, where academic pressure and personal exploration are paramount, yoga serves as a sanctuary for students facing stress and seeking self-discovery. Through practices like asanas, pranayama, and meditation, yoga equips students with tools to manage stress, foster inner balance, and enhance emotional well-being. Apart from its emotional benefits, yoga offers physical advantages, improving strength, flexibility, and posture, particularly beneficial for those sedentary due to academic demands. Moreover, yoga enhances concentration and mental clarity through mindfulness practices, aiding students in academic focus and problem-solving.Additionally, yoga provides a space for students to disconnect from external stimuli and recharge, reducing mental and physical fatigue while boosting vitality. By integrating yoga into university life, students can better balance academic pressures with personal care, laying the groundwork for a more harmonious and mindful future.

结局指标
主要结局
Stress level
时间窗: Up to twelve weeks
Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). This scale is a self-report instrument that evaluates the level of perceived stress during the last month, it consists of 14 items with a response format of a five-point scale (0 = never, 1 = almost never, 2 = occasionally when, 3 = often, 4 = very often). The total score of the PSS is obtained by reversing the scores of items 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 (in the following sense: 0=4, 1=3, 2=2, 3=1 and 4 =0) and then adding the 14 items. The direct score obtained indicates that a higher score corresponds to a higher level of perceived stress.
