The participants of the study at hand experienced a statistically
significant decrease in negative affect after the yoga programme,
confirming the results obtained in the study of Narasimhan,
Nagarathna and Nagendra[27]. Although initially an increase in
positive affect was expected, a significant decrease was observed in
the post-test scores. This result could be due to the fact that the
application of a yoga programme has a balancing effect on the affects (positive and negative), as yoga practice is oriented towards
the development of equanimity and towards the capacity to accept
life events in a balanced and objective way and not be affected by
success and failure
