    [abstract] => The rising prevalence of obesity has altered societal perceptions about health and lifestyle. Beyond looks, this issue impacts physical and emotional well-being and increases the risk of chronic diseases. To understand and treat overweight, a comprehensive approach combining lifestyle changes, nutritional education, and mental health support is required. Power Yoga combines dynamic, flowing sequences with mindfulness, creating a balanced approach to strength, flexibility, and mental clarity. This invigorating practice enhances muscle tone, boosts stamina, and increases metabolic efficiency while fostering greater body awareness. The physically demanding poses promote fat burning, improve cardiovascular health, and build resilience. Beyond the physical, Power Yoga uplifts the mood, reduces stress, and sharpens focus through breath control and mindfulness. It cultivates discipline and inner strength, empowering individuals to face life’s challenges with grace and composure. Whether through challenging postures, seamless transitions, or breath-synchronized movement, Power Yoga offers a transformative journey toward holistic fitness and inner vitality. Aim: The present study was framed to study the impact of power yoga practices on selected cardiorespiratory parameters among overweight children. Samples: Forty overweight boys were selected from various schools in Coimbator, Tamil Nadu. The age group was fixed in the range of 12 to 17. Experimental Design: Among the 40 subjects were divided into one experimental group and one control group with twenty subjects (N=20) in each group. Experimental group I (PYPG=20) underwent power yoga practices for a period of twelve weeks, for four days in a week, the workout lasted for 60 minutes approximately and Control group II (CG=20) do not undergo any sort of training except their daily routine. The data analysis was conducted using the dependent ‘t’ test, and a confidence level of 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. Results: The results indicate that there was a significant difference between the power yoga practices group compared to the control group, suggesting that the power yoga practices had an impact on the overweight children. Specifically, the children who underwent the power yoga practices showed improvements in their selected cardiorespiratory parameters. Conclusion: Children who are overweight can see a considerable improvement in their cardiorespiratory parameters by practicing power yoga. The results demonstrate that training regimens customized to the demands of power yoga practices can improve participant’s cardiorespiratory performance more effectively than control groups. This study offers insightful information about the significance of power yoga practices for enhancing specific cardiorespiratory parameters in overweight children, including breath holding time, peak expiratory flow rate, anaerobic capacity and vo2 max.
