Abstract

This research explores the impact of yoga on enhancing decision-making abilities from a comprehensive research perspective. “Yoga, an ancient practice encompassing physical postures, breathes control, and meditation”, has gained attention in contemporary psychology and neuroscience for its potential cognitive benefits. This research aspires to analyze relationship among “Yoga practice & decision-making processes”, examining how regular “yoga practice” may influence cognitive functions relevant to decision making. The implications of these findings for personal well-being, professional performance, and organizational effectiveness are discussed, emphasizing the importance of integrating yoga-based interventions into educational, clinical, and corporate settings. Finally, avenues for future research are proposed, including longitudinal studies to examine “long-term provoke of yoga practice” on decision making and randomized controlled trials to establish causal relationships. Overall, this research underscores the multifaceted benefits of yoga in enhancing cognitive functions and informs strategies for optimizing decision-making processes in diverse contexts.
