Abstract: Stress disturbs the normal physiological or psychological functioning of a person. The stratified random sampling interventional experimental study design was used to measure galvanic skin response (GSR). The experimental (n = 200) and control groups (n = 200) comprised of 52 females (26%) and 148 males (74%). GSR sensor meter (GSRSM) was used to record skin conductivity (pre and post drill). The experimental group were exposed to deep breathing yoga (DBY); whereas the control group was not exposed to it. The experimental group experiencing stress conveyed higher mean reduction at times (t = 0 sec and t = 300 sec) after DBY as compared to the control group, and the results were significant (p < 0.01). These findings support that DBY reduces stress by cognitive appraisal of measurable skin conductivity through GSRSM biofeedback.
