In the recent years, physiologists and psychologists tried to understand the influence of yogic practices on physiological functions of the individual. The present research paper aims to study the impact of broota relaxation techniques (contains four yogic postures) on physiological measures, i.e., Electro-Encepho Graph (EEG) and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) of emotionally aroused college students. Only EEG and GSR channels of the 8-channel computerized polygraph test were used to measure the physiological reactions (brain waves activities and sweat gland activities) of the subjects. The pre and post-test design was used to compare the physiological data before and after the yogic posture sessions to determine the effectiveness of the Broota Relaxation Techniques. The results revealed that the GSR values comparatively decreased after the yogic posture sessions. The EEG pattern was also found to be more regular and synchronized alpha waves in subjects practicing Broota Relaxation Techniques.
