The researchers introduced the Mindfulness-Based Yoga Training (MBYT) as a novel intervention to investigate its impact on need for achievement, attitude towards education and work methods among senior secondary students. A total of 100 students participated from the selected school based on total enumeration method and they were equally assigned to the experimental and waitlist control groups. This study was conducted in Assam, India and data were collected from the Government Higher Secondary School, Tezpur, Assam. The study employed a quasi-experimental design along with comparative, pre-post and repeated measure design. The Deo-Mohan Achievement Motivation Scale was used to analyze the pre-post assessment scores. This research was carried out in two phases.

    Phase 1 involved developing the MBYT intervention, while Phase 2 focused on assessing its impact.

    Both the experimental group and the waitlist control group participated in eight weeks of MBYT sessions. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, independent t-test and repetitive measure of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The pre-test and post-test findings indicated that the intervention had a significant impact on the variables of need for achievement, attitude towards education and work methods in both the experimental and waitlist control groups, with a large effect size
