Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The outcome of this study may open new frontiers in treatment of spinal deformities by maximizing their respiratory reserve and will endorse the role of ‘Yoga’ in the management of such respiratory disorders which are mainly structural in nature.  0, 6th and 12th month 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
This study might encourage other centers to incorporate Yoga as additional treatment plan for the patients with respiratory distress   6th and 12th month of the study

Brief Summary  

With the aim of promoting normal lung development and pulmonary function, the present study is an attempt to investigate that weather ‘Yogic exercises’ and ‘Pranayama’ can be useful for the improvement of respiratory functions in patients with scoliosis. The ultimate purpose of Yoga and Pranayama is for spiritual enlightenment or for self realization with overall health benefits as well. Here our attempt is to analyze the health benefits from Pranayama with a special emphasis on respiratory functional outcome in patients with scoliosis.

Since, there are no studies conducted on the effect of ‘Pranayama’ on impaired respiratory functions in patients with scoliosis, hence we propose this study.
