      <Abstract>Background : Many studies observed effect of yoga and other relaxation techniques, practiced  to reduce  stress of life, as parasympatho dominance on  cardiorespiratory parameters. Aim : To assess  effect of 8 weeks of daily practice of  three selected relaxation techniques, on   resting cardiorespiratory parameters in 1st  phase medical students of both sexes. Materials and Methods :  Resting cardiorespiratory parameters like  Heart rate (HR), arterial blood pressure (ABP), respiratory rate (RR), peak expiratory flow rate  (PEFR), breath holding time (BHT)  were  recorded before and after a period of  8 weeks  of  daily practice of   relaxation techniques like, prayer, deep breathing, and whole body muscle relaxation.   Data obtained was analysed   (SPSS 16th version) by   Student&rsquo;s t-test;    P</Abstract>
