Abstract(s)
University students were at an increased risk for psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Using a randomized controlled trial, we examined the efficacy of an online Kundalini Yoga intervention
on students’ psychological functioning. Healthy university students (N=106) were randomly assigned to a
Kundalini Yoga group, an active control group, or a passive control group in a 1:1:1 ratio. The experimental
group attended six Yoga sessions over 6weeks and the active control group attended to six autogenic
relaxation sessions over 6weeks. All participants completed the study protocol, which involved answering
questionnaires related to psychological distress, emotion regulation, self-compassion, self-concept, spiritual
well-being, and subjective happiness at three different time points: baseline, at the end of the intervention,
and at 1-month follow-up. Results showed that Yoga contributed to improving self-compassion, extrinsic
affect improving, and personal and communal spiritual well-being, in comparison to the control groups
