Both regular yoga and guided meditation effectively reduce anxiety and stress and improve well-being in emergency medicine residents. After six weeks, the control group had the highest average anxiety score (20.63), while both intervention groups showed significant reductions in perceived stress. The yoga group also showed a significant increase in well-being from baseline compared to the control group. The findings suggest that yoga may offer even greater benefits than meditation alone.
