If you are preparing for NIOS Certificate in Yoga 614 in 2026 and want to know which objective questions matter the most, this page is for you. Chapter-wise sample questions are listed below with answers included. For complete solutions, call Unnati Education at 9654279279 or 9899436384.

NIOS Certificate in Yoga 614 – Quick Overview

What Are NIOS Class 10 Certificate in Yoga 614 Important Questions for 2026?

Here is what most students do not realise about this subject. Reading through the chapters feels easy. Yoga philosophy, Asanas, Pranayama, health systems — it all makes sense when you are reading it. But the exam does not ask you to explain concepts in your own words. It gives you four options and asks you to pick the right one. Three of them will look almost correct. That is where most students lose marks — not because they did not study, but because they never practised in question format. This page has been put together keeping that exact gap in mind. Each chapter has a few of its most important objective questions listed below. These are the ones that show up repeatedly in NIOS exams. The full booklet with solutions for every chapter is available from Unnati Education — just reach out and we will get it to you.

Part 1 – Foundations of Yoga

Lesson 1 – Prayer and Lesson 2 – Misconceptions Related to Yoga

These two opening lessons set up the mindset for the subject. Prayer connects the student to the yogic intention behind practice. The misconceptions lesson is more important than most students think, because the exam loves asking "which of the following is a misconception about yoga" — and if you have not practised those questions, all four options look plausible.

Sample Questions

• Q1. Which of the following is a common misconception about yoga? A. Yoga improves flexibility and mental focus B. Yoga is only for elderly people and not for the young C. Yoga can benefit people of all ages D. Yoga helps manage stress and anxiety Answer: B
• Q2. Prayer before yogic practice is done primarily to: A. Complete a religious obligation B. Prepare the mind and body for focused practice C. Warm up the muscles physically D. Replace the need for Pranayama Answer: B
• True or False: Yoga is only suitable for people who are already physically fit. Answer: False

The key thing to remember here is that misconceptions are things people wrongly believe. The exam tests whether you know the difference between what yoga actually is and what people mistakenly think about it. Practise that distinction and this section becomes one of the easiest in the paper.

Lessons 3, 4, 5 – Nature and Definition of Yoga (Parts I, II, III)

These three lessons are the backbone of the entire subject. If there is one area you cannot afford to skip objective practice for, it is this one. Patanjali's definition, the Bhagavad Gita's definition, and the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga all come from here. The exam returns to these lessons every single year.

Students who need their NIOS Class 10 TMA for Certificate in Yoga 614 solved accurately and ready to submit can get it from Unnati Education in both typed and handwritten formats.

Sample Questions

• Q1. The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root: A. Yuj B. Yog C. Yuk D. Yam Answer: A
• Q2. Patanjali defines yoga as: A. Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah B. Yoga karmasu kaushalam C. Yoga is union of breath and body D. Yoga is physical exercise only Answer: A
• Q3. The eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga in correct order begin with: A. Asana B. Pranayama C. Yama D. Dhyana Answer: C
• Fill in the Blank: The systematic collection of aphorisms on yoga compiled by Patanjali is called the __________. Answer: Yoga Sutras
• True or False: The eight limbs of Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga begin with Asana as the first limb. Answer: False

Patanjali's definition — Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah — translates to "yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind." That line has appeared in the NIOS exam in some format practically every year. Learn it, understand it, and never get that question wrong.

Lesson 6 – Yoga and Life

This lesson is about how yoga connects to daily living. The questions here are often application-based — asking what regular yoga practice does for concentration, emotional balance, or stress levels.

Sample Questions

• Q1. Regular practice of yoga in daily life primarily helps in: A. Replacing medical treatment entirely B. Improving physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance C. Making people socially withdrawn D. Reducing the need for sleep completely Answer: B
• Fill in the Blank: The practice of yoga in daily life helps maintain __________ between the body and the mind. Answer: Balance

Part 2 – Yogic Practices and Mind

Lesson 7 – Yama (Mental Discipline)

Yama is the first limb of Ashtanga Yoga. The five Yamas are tested constantly — their names, their meanings, and identifying which one belongs to which definition. This lesson alone can give you five to six reliable marks if you prepare it well.

Students who want comprehensive chapter-wise practice across the full syllabus will find the complete NIOS Class 10 Important Questions collection for Certificate in Yoga 614 through Unnati Education's booklet.

Sample Questions

• Q1. Which of the following is NOT one of the five Yamas? A. Ahimsa B. Satya C. Dharana D. Asteya Answer: C
• Q2. Aparigraha as a Yama means: A. Truthfulness B. Non-stealing C. Non-possessiveness D. Celibacy Answer: C
• Fill in the Blank: The five Yamas are Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya, and __________. Answer: Aparigraha

Ahimsa is non-violence. Satya is truthfulness. Asteya is non-stealing. Brahmacharya is energy conservation. Aparigraha is non-possessiveness. Keep all five in your memory with their meanings and you will not lose a single mark from this lesson.

Lesson 8 – Niyamas (Mental Purification)

Niyamas are the second limb and they govern internal discipline. Where Yamas deal with how you behave outwardly, Niyamas are about inner habits and personal practices. The exam tests both — and students often mix them up.

Sample Questions

• Q1. The Niyama that refers to self-study and the study of sacred texts is: A. Svadhyaya B. Tapas C. Isvara Pranidhana D. Saucha Answer: A
• Q2. Santosha as a Niyama means: A. Purity B. Austerity C. Contentment D. Surrender Answer: C
• Fill in the Blank: The five Niyamas are Saucha, Santosha, Tapas, Svadhyaya, and __________. Answer: Isvara Pranidhana
• True or False: Tapas as a Niyama refers to physical comfort and indulgence. Answer: False

Lesson 9 – Asanas: Yogic Postures

Asanas are the third limb and the most recognisable part of yoga. The definition of an Asana, its classifications, and the purpose of specific postures are tested here. The exam also asks about what you should not do before or during Asana practice.

Sample Questions

• Q1. An Asana is best defined as: A. A breathing technique B. A steady and comfortable posture C. A cleansing practice D. A mental meditation technique Answer: B
• Q2. Shavasana is practised primarily for: A. Strengthening the spine B. Deep relaxation of the body and mind C. Improving digestion D. Building upper body strength Answer: B
• Fill in the Blank: The Asana considered ideal for meditation due to its stable seated position is __________. Answer: Padmasana
• True or False: Asanas should be performed immediately after a full meal for best results. Answer: False

Three types of Asanas are tested from this lesson — meditative, cultural, and relaxative. Meditative Asanas prepare you to sit for long periods. Cultural Asanas work on the body's systems. Relaxative Asanas like Shavasana bring the body to rest. Know which category each Asana belongs to.

Lesson 10 – Pranayama

Pranayama is the fourth limb and one of the richest lessons for objective questions. The meaning of the word, the three phases, the types of Pranayama, and the effects on the body are all tested.

Students who want to check how these questions appeared in past papers can get NIOS Class 10 question paper collections for Certificate in Yoga 614 from Unnati Education, covering multiple years of previous exams with full solutions.

Sample Questions

• Q1. The three phases of Pranayama are: A. Puraka, Kumbhaka, Rechaka B. Inhale, exhale, rest C. Breathe fast, breathe slow, breathe deep D. Inhale, pause, inhale again Answer: A
• Q2. Nadi Shodhana Pranayama is also called: A. Bhastrika B. Kapalbhati C. Alternate nostril breathing D. Cooling breath Answer: C
• Fill in the Blank: The phase of Pranayama where the breath is held after inhalation is called __________. Answer: Kumbhaka

Puraka is inhalation, Kumbhaka is retention, and Rechaka is exhalation. These three Sanskrit terms appear in fill-in-the-blank and MCQs year after year. Learn them once and they will never cost you a mark.

Lesson 11 – Cure of Diseases Through Yoga and Lesson 12 – Mind

These two lessons bring the philosophy and practice of yoga together. One shows how yoga helps manage health conditions. The other explores the yogic understanding of the mind and how chitta and vritti work.

Sample Questions

• Q1. Regular yoga practice is most helpful for managing which of the following? A. Bone fractures and surgical recovery only B. Stress, anxiety, hypertension, and diabetes C. Contagious diseases and viral infections D. Genetic disorders Answer: B

• Fill in the Blank: The five types of mental fluctuations described by Patanjali are Pramana, Viparyaya, Vikalpa, Nidra, and __________. Answer: Smriti
• True or False: Yoga can completely replace medical treatment for all diseases. Answer: False

Part 3 – Health, Morality and Peace

Lessons 13 to 18 – Digestive System, Circulatory System, Basis of Good Health, Motivating Stories, Moral Stories, International Peace

Part 3 combines anatomy basics with values and social philosophy. Many students skip these lessons because they seem disconnected from core yoga content. That is a mistake. The digestive and circulatory system lessons have direct factual questions, and the peace and morality lessons contribute to the values education component of the exam.

Sample Questions

• Q1. Which yogic practice is known to specifically support digestive health? A. Nadi Shodhana B. Vajrasana C. Shavasana D. Bhastrika Answer: B
• Q2. According to yogic philosophy, good health is based on: A. Only physical fitness and diet B. Balance of body, mind, and spirit C. Medical treatment and rest alone D. Competitive physical activity Answer: B
• Q3. International peace, as understood through yoga, begins with: A. Political agreements between nations B. Inner transformation and non-violence at the individual level C. Economic development and trade D. Military strength and deterrence Answer: B
• Fill in the Blank: The organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body is the __________. Answer: Heart
• True or False: Vajrasana is one of the few Asanas that can be safely practised immediately after eating. Answer: True

Quick Reference – Yamas and Niyamas

Most Repeated Topics in NIOS Certificate in Yoga 614 Exams

Patanjali's definition of yoga appears in some form in almost every paper. The five Yamas and five Niyamas with their meanings are tested every exam cycle. The three phases of Pranayama — Puraka, Kumbhaka, Rechaka — come up without fail. The eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga in correct order are tested as identification questions. The definition of Asana and the post-meal rule appear regularly. The classification of Asanas into meditative, cultural, and relaxative types is another consistent area. Misconception-based questions from Lesson 2 return year after year. The digestive system Asana question about Vajrasana is a standard true or false.

Common Mistakes Students Make in This Exam

Placing Asana before Yama in the eight limbs sequence is the most common ordering error. Mixing up Yamas and Niyamas when answering fill-in-the-blank questions trips up many students. Confusing Patanjali's definition with the Bhagavad Gita's definition happens more than it should. Not preparing Part 3 at all because it seems separate from yoga results in easy marks being left on the table. Thinking Vajrasana cannot be done after eating — when it is actually one that can — is a classic true or false trap. Getting Rechaka and Kumbhaka mixed up in Pranayama phase questions is another avoidable error.
