Abstract	Residential school systems under the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) expose students to distinct psychological demands such as academic competition, strict routines, and separation from family support. These factors can elevate stress levels and negatively influence students’ mental health and academic outcomes. This study investigated the impact of an 8-week structured yoga programme on stress reduction among residential school students. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was adopted. Sixty students aged 12–16 years were selected and divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in daily 40-minute yoga sessions, five days a week, including asanas, pranayama, meditation, and relaxation techniques, while the control group continued regular activities without intervention. Stress levels were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and statistical analysis included descriptive measures and t-tests.Results showed a significant decrease in stress levels in the experimental group, whereas the control group exhibited negligible change. Post-test comparisons further confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention. The findings suggest that yoga is a practical, cost-effective, and non-invasive strategy for improving psychological well-being among residential students. Incorporating yoga into school routines can enhance emotional stability, resilience, and academic performance.
