A specific model of yoga for schizophrenia has been developed and validated, showing significant improvement in symptoms, especially negative symptoms and impairment in emotion recognition and real-life functioning. This is because yoga can cause changes in the brain structure of schizophrenia patients. In this quasi-experimental study, 30 male patients with schizophrenia participated, who were selected as available and randomly divided into two groups of 15 control and intervention. The Wisconsin Executive Function Test was used to measure executive functions. The findings of the study showed that yoga exercises have a beneficial effect on improving the executive functions of male schizophrenia patients.
