Abstract	This study explored the impact of yogic practices on hand steadiness and well-being in intercollegiate female athletes at Kuvempu University. Forty athletes were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). The experimental group practiced Asanas, Pranayama, Suryanamaskar, and Meditation three times a week for twelve weeks, while the control group followed their routine activities without additional training. Standard tests assessed hand steadiness and well-being, with data analyzed using the paired sample t-test (p < 0.05). Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group, suggesting yoga enhances fine motor control and mental well-being, while the control group showed no substantial changes. These findings emphasize yoga’s role in improving athletic performance and psychological resilience, making it a valuable addition to sports training programs.
Keywords	Yogic practices, hand steadiness, wellbeing, sportsperson.
