Pretest stress level was analyzed in both groups by Depression anxiety stress Scale & then Pranayama therapy was introduced to Experimental group & then Post test stress level was assessed in both the groups by Depression anxiety stress Scale. Results: Paired ‘t’ test reveals that there is significant (p <0.05) difference between pretest & posttest stress scores of experimental group as during pretest 10% had extreme severe & 30% had severe further 33% had moderate & 27% of them had mild stress. However during post test only 3% had extremly severe & 10% had severe further 47% had moderate and 40% of them had mild level of stress. Pretest and Post test level of stress among the control group reveals that in the pretest 10% had extreme severe stress & 20% of the elderly had severe stress further 40% had moderate & 30% of them had mild stress.
