Objective : To analyze the effects of Triloka excercise on the anxiety levels in the elderly at the Husnul Khatimah Home for the Elderly. Method : A pre-experimental method and a one-group pre-post test design procedure were applied in this study. A total of 32 respondents were recruited using a purposive sampling . Respondent's anxiety levels were measured before and after doing the Triloka exercise using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) measuring instrument.

Results : Before Triloka exercise, mild anxiety dominated in as many as 15 people (47%), moderate anxiety as many as 14 people (44%), severe anxiety as many as 2 people (6%), and very severe anxiety in as many as 1 person (3%). Meanwhile, after receiving the Triloka exercise intervention, 21 respondents (67%) reported no anxiety, 8 reported mild anxiety (24%), and 3 reported moderate anxiety (8%).
