ABSTRACT:
This study investigates the role of Ayur Yoga in managing obesity among Information Technology (IT) professionals by addressing three key objectives: balancing body constitution (doshas), controlling eating behaviors, and reducing anthropometric measures. The integration of Ayurvedic principles with Yogic practices aims to correct Kapha imbalances, enhance metabolic function, and regulate digestion in obese individuals. By employing document analysis and reviewing empirical evidence, the study highlights the effectiveness of Ayur Yoga as a non-invasive, cost-effective, and sustainable method for obesity management. The findings suggest that Ayur Yoga not only contributes to physical health improvement but also fosters lifestyle discipline, making it a suitable intervention for high-risk professional groups in IT sector. After the 10-week intervention, participants showed an average weight loss of 6.2 kg and waist circumference reduction of 7.4 cm, along with improvements in BMI. These results suggest that Ayur Yoga is an effective and natural approach to managing obesity in workplace settings.
