The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of yoga on psychological well-being in female college students. Current research was conducted in the Government Associate College (Women) of Jhang Region. Purposive sampling was applied for the selection of the study sample. The study population consisted of 34 female students aged 16 to 19 years who voluntarily participated in the study. The current study was supported by experimental research. An 8-week exercise protocol (yoga) was used to check the effect of yoga on stress and the psychological well-being of students. The study results found that there is a significant improvement in psychological well-being after some interventions, as the mean difference between pre- and post-test scores is significantly different from zero. However, the researcher concluded that there is a significant effect of the specific interventions (Yoga) on different aspects of psychological well-being. The study findings suggested that college administration should encourage female college students to engage in regular aerobic and yoga exercises to reduce their perceived stress levels and should develop outreach programs to educate female students on the benefits of exercise in reducing stress and improving mental health. This will lead to the production/promotion of the wholesome development of young people and produce a healthy and useful nation for society.
