description The present study was conducted on normal healthy volunteers, 41 men and 23 women, to evaluate the impact of Pranayama and Yoga asanas on blood lipid profiles and free fatty acids, in two stages. In stage-I, Pranayama was taught for 30 days and in stage-II, yogic practices were added to Pranayama for another 60 days. A Significant reduction was observed in triglycerides, free fatty acids and VLDL-cholesterol in men and free fatty acids alone were reduced in women at the end of stage-I. A significant elevation of HDL-cholesterol was seen only in the men at the end of stage-I. At the end of stage-II, free fatty acids increased in both men and women, and women demonstrated a significant fall in serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL- and VLDL-cholesterol. The results indicated that HDL-cholesterol was elevated in men with Pranayamam, while triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol decreased in women after yoga asanas. The results of the present study indicate that Pranayama and yoga asanas can be helpful in patients with lipid metabolism disorders such as coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia etc.
