With this view, it was thought to study the effect of yoga on various biochemical parameters in overweight and obese MBBS students. Materials & Methods:- A pilot study was conducted on ten overweight and obese MBBS students. Yoga sessions were given to the participants. Before and at the end of yoga sessions, their blood samples were examined for various biochemical parameters. Result:- After eight weeks of yoga, statistically signicant reduction in fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin, and LDL cholesterol was observed.
