摘要

Illegal immigrants from the Kuki-Chin-Mizo tribes from Myanmar have infiltrated Manipur, India, leading to conflict and changes in the geopolitics of the state. The ongoing conflict between the Meiteis, the largest ethnic group of Manipur, and the Kukis has led to extreme acts of violence, including brutal killings, sexual assaults, and the destruction of public and private property. People living in the region have been adversely affected in various ways, including their mental health. Yoga has proven beneficial for conditions such as exposure to conflict and violence. After a baseline assessment of anxiety, depression, perceived stress, resilience, self-esteem, and spiritual well-being, the participants in the study were given yoga intervention for 8 weeks. The post-assessment performed after the intervention period found a significant difference between the baseline and post-assessments in anxiety, depression, perceived stress, self-esteem, and spiritual well-being, with p-values < 0.05. Yoga is an effective method for improving the mental health of persons affected by conflict who are residing in relief centers.
