Abstract
Yoga has long been seen as a multifaceted intervention. There are scientific data supporting the beneficial effects of Yoga on a person’s physical and mental wellness. Hence, this review aimed to look at the scope of applicability of these practices to target breathing, phonation, and posture for producing quality voice in normophonics and/or dysphonics. Boolean procedures were used to combine keywords, and databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Com-Disdome (ProQuest), J-Gate, and N-List were searched. Lists of references were searched manually for further relevant studies. The database searches turned up a total of 10,371 items. After removing 2072 duplicates, 8299 further articles were included in the title/abstract screening. Finally, four articles were selected for the full-length article screening. Three articles matched the inclusion criteria in the study. The review demonstrated that yogic practices, namely Pranayama, could be employed to see improvements in voice quality as the results were corroborated with scientific data and evidences.
