| Abstract: | Examined the effect of yoga training on field-independence and perceptual acuity. 30 postgraduate students divided into 2 groups (experimental and control) were administered the Group Embedded Figures Test and a perceptual acuity test prior to yoga training. After 10 mo of regular yoga practice for the experimental group, both the groups were retested. The experimental group demonstrated a shift towards field independence when compared with the control group. This variation in an enduring response indicates that the practice of yoga produces a shift in the perceptual style in the direction of increased field independence.
