Abstract
Yoga, an ancient Hindu practice, is considered a mind-body type of complementary and alternative medicine practice. In this study, adolescent students are first clinically interviewed to diagnose if they had lingering traces of childhood trauma. They were then Pre-tested on different dimensions of emotional maturity like emotional instability, emotional regression, social maladjustment, Personality disintegration and lack of independence. The adolescents were made to do yogic and breathing exercises. After this post-tests were done on the adolescents. The results of the pre and post therapy were correlated.
