Anxiety is a widespread mental health condition experienced as an array of symptoms in varying degrees in sufferers from all walks of life. The life of a student today can trigger or aggravate anxiety symptoms, leading to poor student outcomes and quality of life. The need for easily accessible and affordable treatment for anxiety for university students has led to the development of this theoretical study proposal. Yoga has been shown to assist in the management of anxiety symptoms. This proposal seeks to outline how a study could be conducted and analysed to further the research on females using yoga to manage anxiety symptoms, looking specifically at how this may benefit female students studying in tertiary institutions.
