Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) is a special yogic package designed by Sri Sri Ravishankar, the founder of Art of Living foundation. In healthy individuals after 8 days of practicing SKY positive effect have been found on lipid profile. However to put yoga on a firm pedestal and popularize it among public, we planned to undertake a study of the effect of SKY on lipid profile in postmenopausal women. In our study 100 subjects of postmenopausal women between age 45-55 years were studied. The subjects of postmenopause were randomaly selected from Bikaner City. They were divided into study group and control group having 50 subjects each. Study group was asked to do ‘Sudarshan Kriya Yoga’ one hour daily or at least five times a week for continuous three months after proper training. Statistically significant benefit of SKY was obtained in Lipid profile in postmenopausal women. Sudarshan kriya yoga showed statistically significant decrease in the values of all the above parameters after 3 months of practice.
