        abstract = {This experimental study investigated the effectiveness of yoga-based interventions in reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma among 120 adults (60 men and 60 women) in Ahmedabad, India. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=60) receiving 12 weeks of yoga sessions or a wait-list control group (n=60). Pre- and post-intervention assessments used standardized tools: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Results showed significant reductions in all symptoms for the experimental group compared to controls (p < 0.001). Findings suggest yoga as a viable adjunctive intervention for mental health in urban Indian adults.},
