Abstract :

Background: Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) System®️ healing is an energy-based system that aims to harmonize the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of an individual through energy balancing techniques. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of YPV healing on body weight and waist circumference among adult participants.

Materials and Methods: An interventional study was conducted on 16 participants during a one-day Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) facial, weight loss and body sculpting workshop in Sirsi, Karnataka, using the YPV weight-loss protocol. Body weight and waist circumference were recorded before and after a single healing session. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for weight (non-normal distribution) and the paired t-test for waist circumference (approximately normal distribution).

Result: The healing intervention is associated with statistically significant reduction in waist circumference (≈1.25 inches on average) and a small statistically significant change in weight (median reduction ≈0.175 kg).

Conclusion: The one-day Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing camp using the YPV weight-loss protocol showed significant reduction in waist circumference and a modest but significant decrease in body weight. These findings suggest that YPV healing may serve as a supportive or complementary approach for weight management and maintaining a healthy BMI.
