(baseline) <strong>and</strong> after the intervention.<br />
For descriptive purposes, the results<br />
are expressed as untransformed <strong>and</strong><br />
unadjusted mean values. Continuous<br />
variables are expressed as mean ± SD,<br />
<strong>and</strong> categorical variables are<br />
expressed as absolute numbers. A<br />
two-tailed value <strong>of</strong> P less than 0.05<br />
was considered significant.<br />
Results<br />
15 subjects enrolled in this<br />
study Table.1 shown the description<br />
<strong>of</strong> subjects. All subjects completed the<br />
studies. Clinically significant<br />
differences were observed between<br />
the baseline <strong>and</strong> day90. Mean Fasting<br />
blood glucose, postpr<strong>and</strong>ial glucose,<br />
HbA1c, Blood pressure values at<br />
screening were baseline <strong>and</strong> day90.<br />
In this study, statistically<br />
significantly greater (P ≤ 0.001) mean<br />
decreases from baseline to day 90<br />
were observed in the group for Fasting<br />
blood glucose 115.1± 11.5 to<br />
92.8±11.7, postpr<strong>and</strong>ial glucose<br />
203±12.5 to 178±11.5, HbA1c 8±1.2<br />
to 6±0.8, Blood pressure Systolic<br />

Discussion <strong>and</strong> Conclusion<br />
This pilot study assessed the<br />
feasibility <strong>of</strong> implementing <strong>Vethathiri</strong><br />
Maharishi’s yoga program among<br />
adults at type 2 diabetes. The<br />
preliminary study results indicate that<br />
this yoga program is feasible <strong>and</strong><br />
acceptable to this population.<br />
Participants in the yoga group showed<br />
increased confidence over time in<br />
recommending the yoga program to<br />
their friends who are at high risk for<br />
type 2 Diabetes <strong>and</strong> expressed high<br />
satisfaction with the program. There<br />
was significant decrease in FBS,<br />
PPBS, HbA1c values in both sex who<br />
underwent the 3 months yoga <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Kaya</strong>kalpa practice. As participants<br />
