The objective of the study was to analyze the improvement in feelings of yoga practitioners, and the influence of the characteristics of the respondents on the improvement achieved. Data was collected through an online questionnaire from a randomly selected sample of 500 yoga practitioners from India. The questionnaire contained the 12 item feeling inventory proposed by Gauvin and Rejeski (1993), the characteristics of the respondents such as sex, age, education, marital status, and whether they had any existing psychological problems before the start of yoga practice. The total score for improvement in feelings through yoga practice was worked out as the sum of scores of the items. The data was analyzed as proportion and through t test. The results of the study establish the effect of yoga in improving positive feelings and reducing negative feelings of the practitioners. Statistically significant difference in the total score for improvement in feelings through yoga practice was observed with respect to the following characteristics of the respondents, namely, age, education, and whether the respondents were having any psychological problems before they started yoga practice or not. Sex and marital status of the respondents did not significantly influence the improvement in feelings through yoga practice.
