This is an experimental study that verified the effect of hatha yoga on some functional capacity (FC) markers and on the perception of anxiety (PA) in adult women. The volunteers were divided into control group and yoga group and evaluated pre and post intervention. Through the tests of maximal isometric voluntary contraction of handgrip, gait speed and anxiety scale, it was observed that the intervention was effective to improve the FC markers and PA of the volunteers.
