Study Summary
The study is a randomized controlled trail with an observational arm and aims at collecting information on the prevalence of COVID 19 infection in seasoned yoga practitioners by comparing it with the prevalence of COVID-19 infection prevalence rates among age and gender matched control participants who do not practice yoga. The study hypothesizes that yoga practice promotes protection and enhances recovery from the COVID-19 infection. To prove the hypothesis, the study investigators are collecting and comparing responses from seasoned yoga practitioners to age and gender matched controls participants (who do not practice yoga routinely) regarding their recovery from the COVID 19 infection. Based on validated questionnaires on perceived stress, anxiety, depression, well-being, mindfulness, joy disposition, and resilience in participants over the study duration, the investigators also collect information on participant's mental and emotional predispositions.
Primary Outcome
The study aims to evaluate changes in perceived levels of stress in survey participants and the effect yoga or reading a book has over them. We use a validated scale for this purpose named, Perceived Stress Scale. The scale measures the degree to which situations in participant's life are appraised as stressful. This is the primary outcome for our study. We assess for change in perceived stress levels by analyzing the PSS score for each participant and comparing it to pre \& post intervention re
