In this study the researchers compared the anxiety and sensory processing abilities of the deployed military personnel with stateside civilians using the State-Trial Anxiety Inventory scales and the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile Quadrants. There was a total of 70 participants, 35 received 3 wks of treatment and 35 did not. The sensory-enhanced hatha yoga was shown to be effective in reducing state and trait anxiety. Researchers also found positive correlations with all test measures excepts sensory seeking, which was negatively correlated with all measures except low registration. These results support the use of sensory enhanced hatha yoga as a proactive approach for stress management for deployed military personnel.
