Brief Summary  

Psychological balance is related to mindfulness and yoga, and  other behavioral therapies. Mindfulness practices involve mind-body exercises such as yoga,  focusing on learning awareness for listening and responding to bodily stirs. This awareness  helps athletes enhance their psychological well-being and performance in challenging  situations. This study will evaluate the effects of yoga practice on sleep quality, stress, anxiety,  and sports performance in athletes. It will also explore the athletes’ compliance and  acceptability of yoga practices. If the study results benefit the athletes in improving their stress,  anxiety, sleep, and, consecutively, their sports performance, the practice can be used as a part  of their routine sports practice.
