Yoga an ancient science has a spectrum of influence on the psyche of an individual. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of integrated yoga module on psychological status of un- employed women.  Objectives: To study the effects of integrated yoga in un- employed women quality of life (QOL). Methods: Subjects were assessed with standard questionnaires at baseline and assessed again at the end of 4weeks of yoga intervention. The data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: Significant improvement is seen in QOL at post intervention as compared to baseline. Conclusion: Integrated yoga is a feasible and cost effective strategy in alleviating negative psychological symptoms by effectively improving the overall quality of life in un- employed women.
