Introduction: Aging is a sensitive period in which examining various aspects of mental health becomes very important. Resilience and Social anxiety are factors that can have a significant impact on their mental health during old age. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of yoga techniques on resilience and social anxiety in elderly women in Tehran City.

The statistical population included all elderly women in Shahr Babak city based on the latest official statistics of the Health Center in 2024 AH, of which 30 people (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) were selected by convenience sampling. The data collection tool was the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003) and the Templer Social Anxiety Questionnaire (1970). The intervention of yoga techniques was carried out in 10 60-minute sessions twice a week on the experimental group, and the control group did not receive any intervention.
