This study assessed the effect of selected yogic practices on some physical fitness variables among residential students in Shimla District, Himachal Pradesh. An 8-week yoga training program was conducted for 48 male students from classes 10th, 11th and 12th, during which they were exposed to various 'asanas,' pranayama, and other yogic practices. The variables measured were weight, agility, flexibility, and abdominal strength from the pre- to the post testing. Weight was not significantly affected by the intervention, while significant positive effects in students were observed for agility, flexibility, and abdominal strength as an outcome of the study. Results indicated significant improvements in agility, flexibility, and abdominal strength among participants. Therefore, this has suggested that regular practice of yoga can benefit various aspects of enhancing boys' physical fitness. This, however, may not impact on their weight.
