Methods: Subjects were assessed with standard questionnaires at baseline and assessed again at the end of 4weeks of yoga intervention. The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: Significant improvement is seen in QOL at post intervention as compared to baseline. Conclusion: Integrated yoga is a feasible and cost effective strategy in alleviating negative psychological symptoms by effectively improving the overall quality of life in un- employed women.
