The goal of this clinical trial is to to investigate the acute and chronic effects of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) exercise program with different durations (60 min and 30 min) on pulmonary function in sedentary young individuals.. The main questions it aims to answer are:
• Does a four-week hatha yoga (HY) more effective than 30 min of a four-week hatha yoga (HY) and the control group in improving the pulmonary function? Researchers will compare a four-week OF 60 min duration hatha yoga (HY) , 30 min duration of HY and control to see the differences in the pulmonary function among high school sedentary students
Participants will:
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) | the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking a deep breath measured using spirometry | at baseline and end of 4 week |
| Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) | spirometry will be used to measure Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1). It is the volume of air (in liters) exhaled in the first second during forced exhalation after maximal inspiration. | at baseline and end of 4 week |
