Abstract
The study aims to determine the levels of serum IgG against Covid-19 fully vaccinated individuals after practising SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yog). Quantitative method is applied in this research, and data were collected through pre- structured demographic profile questionnaire andCovid-19neutralizing antibody Microlisa test among 222 subjects in the Moti Lal Nehru Medical College vaccination center and SRN Hospital, including yoga centers of Prayagaraj, U.P. The study employed a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. Purpose of research is to establish effectiveness of SKY in increasing IgG levels significantly helping body to build antibodies against COVID. Pre and post test data analysis using descriptive and inferential statistics showed the mean IgG score was increased from 22.07 to 77.3 after Sudarshan Kriya Yog among the study subjects in experimental group. The research concluded with observation of high IgG levels lasting about 2 months after the second vaccination and with practice of SKY further IgG levels increased significantly helping body to build antibodies against COVID with IgG levels peaking at 11 weeks after second dose.
