Abstract:
The study was conducted to find out if suryanamaskar influences the self-esteem. Participants comprised of college students between the ages of 18 and 21 years. Subjects were initially assessed for self-esteem using Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale. Those with low self-esteem were chosen for the study and divided into experimental group and control group. The scores on selfesteem of the two groups obtained in the pre test did not differ significantly. The experimental group practiced suryanamaskar weekly five days for a period of eight weeks. Results of the post test reveal that the self-esteem of the experimental group has significantly improved
