        abstract = {Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has emerged as a significant behavioral addiction among adolescents, characterized by impaired emotional regulation, reduced executive functioning, and diminished self-control. Emerging evidence suggests that mind–body interventions such as yoga may enhance cognitive and emotional processes implicated in addictive behaviors. However, limited research has examined the effectiveness of Manavalakalai (Simplified Kundalini Yoga SKY) in addressing psychological mechanisms underlying IGD in adolescents. Focuses on specific psychological mediators (emotional regulation, executive function). Aligns with current RCT trends emphasizing mechanism-based interventions. Enhances scientific clarity and measurability. Suitable for journals in behavioral addiction, adolescent psychology, or integrative medicine.
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Manavalakalai (SKY) Yoga in improving emotional regulation, executive function, and self-control, and thereby reducing symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder among adolescent student to reduce internet gaming addiction among adolescents by:
•	Improving emotional regulation
•	Strengthening executive function
•	Enhancing self-control
•	Reducing impulsivity
•	Improving sleep and mental clarity},
