Abstract:
Objective: To determine if diverse and underserved populations report benefit from Yoga practices and report an intention to continue with Yoga, meditation, or breathing practices. Design: This was a retrospective study using archival data from exit questionnaires acquired at the end of Yoga programs serving diverse populations. Qualitative data was also collected from the Yoga teachers. Setting: Free Kripalu Yoga classes offered to diverse and underserved/underprivileged populations (e.g., minority groups, the elderly, gay populations), as part of the Teaching for Diversity (TFD) program through the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health (KCYH). Participants: 220 participants, ranging in age from adolescence through old age. Measures: Nine questions about the perceived benefits and usefulness of Yoga practices in everyday life were administered to participants on the last day of class. Qualitative data was collected from teachers regarding their experience teaching underserved populations. Results: Of the 220 respondents, 89% reported that the Yoga class left them with a feeling of overall wellness, and 83% found the practices helpful. 98% reported that they would recommend this Yoga class to others. Participants found the individual Yoga components of the breathing, Yoga postures, and meditation practices effective and said they were useful in their daily life. Pairwise t-test comparisons of average scores between these three practices indicated that participants were more likely to rate breathing useful as compared to either the postures or meditation (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Diverse and underserved populations report benefit from and interest in Yoga, meditation, and breathing practices.

Abstract:
Ananda Marga (AM) Yoga was taught to male inmates at Wake Correctional Center in Raleigh, NC. A five-year study of 190 inmates found that those who were taught Ananda Marga (AM) Yoga were significantly less likely to be reincarcerated upon release. Subjects were divided into two groups, those who attended at least one, but less than four classes, and those who attended more than four classes. Differences in reincarceration rates between these two groups during a two-year post-release period were striking. Of those who attended more than four classes, 8.5% were reincarcerated, while 25.2% of those who attended fewer than four classes were reincarcerated during this same period. This difference was found to be statistically significant at the 0.025 level.

Abstract:
Background: Health is the major concern of each and every individual. Being fit both physically and mentally is not an easy task. Yoga and meditation is considered as an optimal solution for the same. In Yoga, Yogi (person who does yoga) performs various asanas (body postures) which energize and refresh their body cells and keep them fit. The real purpose of yoga asanas and breathing techniques is to achieve optimal health possibly the best physical condition based on their life style, environment, age and genetics. Various clinical studies claim that yoga can provide improved mental and physical fitness rather than other physical training or stress management techniques. Objective: Our aim is to increase the performance of the postures of the Yogis, through yoga assistant kit with prediction intelligence which will assist the person to perform suitable yoga postures. This will help the Yogis to achieve more positive results in the practice of Yoga, with highest quality of meditation. The developed IoT kit consists of a hardware module (embedded in wrist band) and a mobile application. The yogi should wear the wrist band while practising yoga. The wrist band consists of various sensors like temperature sensor, pressure sensor, humidity sensor etc. which sense body parameters and store it in a central database. Using neural networks and embedded intelligence our system aims to predict the number of sun salutations a person (yogi) should perform based on the parameters collected from the kit. The results showed that our system works as a virtual trainer which suggests the yogi with the appropriate asanas to be performed based on present body conditions. Methods: It is safe to wear this light weight wrist band as it is made up of a cotton band. The components are embedded inside the band and is safe to use though it uses button cells as a power source. The system is charged by button cells. It is both economical and safe to use it as the kit is designed in such a manner that it doesn’t cause any sort of skin allergies or side effects. </P><P> Discussion: There is no standard yoga assistant kit available in the market as of now. So our proposed kit can assist the yoga performers to perform yoga in an efficient manner. The intention of our kit is not to improve the health of a yoga person instead it focuses on assisting the yoga person with a set of asanas to be performed at a particular body condition. The smart phone version provides live assistance for the yoga performer with relevant videos. The kit doesn’t consist of any expensive components and hence we can market this product in a nominal price. We performed a clinical study in Amrutha Yoga centre and the results showed that it is non allergic and safe to use for both kids and elder persons. Conclusion: Thus our proposed yoga kit will be an intelligent assistant for every yoga performer to practice yoga efficiently and effectively.

Abstract:
It is well known that human mind possess unbounded power. It has numerous extrasensory potentials like precognition, psychokinesis, extrasensory perception etc. According to Sriram Sharma Acharya, human mind is indeed a miracle of consciousness that can visualize and traverse anywhere in the infinite expansion of the cosmos in nanoseconds. It can acquire unlimited knowledge and is endowed with super natural potentials. In this study, it is theorized that supernatural powers of the mind can be attained by activating some extrasensory centers of human body with the help of some yogic exercises such as meditation and sadhanas. According to yogic texts, Agya Chakra referred as the ‘third eye’ or the ‘sixth sense’. The yoga shastras describe the position of the Agya Chakra in the inner core of the brain deep behind the bhru-madhya (center between the two eyebrows). The view of the expert of yoga, clairvoyance, telepathy, extra-terrestrial communication etc. can be bestowed by the activation of agya chakra. The exponents of dhyan-yoga regard Agya Chakra as the core of self-realization and the centre for the linkage of individual consciousness with the omnipresent supreme-consciousness. Indian rishi-munis who, by has deep contemplation of yogic sadhanas, they had awakened the supernormal powers of their mind and become the masters of many ridhi-siddhis. In this paper, researchers have made an effort to explore the techniques that one could attain the superhuman siddhis from the dedicated yoga sadhanas through activation of agya chakra, these sages of yore had done.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and metabolic changes observed immediately and 3 months after daily Yoga practices in a group of people with diabetes mellitus (DM). The study included sixteen women(3 with Type 1 DM, 12 with Type 2 DM, and 1 with type 2 DM treated with insulin; mean age 61 ± 11 years; DM history 21 ± 14 years) attending the Physical Activity Program at CENEXA – Center of Experimental and Applied Endocrinology (UNLP-CONICET, PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center), National University of La Plata School of Medicine, La Plata, Argentina. Group Yoga practices consisted in âsanas (postures), prânâyâma(breathing exercises), relaxation, and meditation techniques performed twice a week (27 sessions in all), complemented by daily individual sessions practiced at home the remaining days of the week. Data recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study included personal information, clinical and metabolic characteristics, type of treatment and control, and complications. Blood pressure(BP), heart rate (HR), and glycemia also were recorded at the beginning and end of 13 alternate sessions. Both attendance and compliance with the proposed schedule were high (&gt; 80%), excepting 2 people who deserted but completed 50% of the study. There were no overall significant differences (beginning vs. end of the study) in BMI, HbA1, lipid profile, dietary plan, habitual physical activity practice, BP, and treatment schedule. Conversely, there was a significant decrease in HR (8 sessions; p &lt; 0.03) and glycemia (10 sessions; p &lt; 0.03) immediately after the Yoga sessions. The immediate positive effect of Yoga practices on glycemia and HR suggests that such practices would be beneficial for the treatment of people with DM.

Abstract:
This article describes the quantitative results of a study conducted at Maui Community Correctional Center in Hawaii. The program, Free Inside, was evaluated to determine its effectiveness as a rehabilitative tool for inmates. Each of the participants engaged in twelve-week cycles of twice weekly, hour-long classes in yoga, meditation, and chi gung practice. The findings reveal an association between inmate participation and increased awareness, self-esteem, sense of hope, and compassion. The authors recommend that similar programming become a part of the inmate experience in an effort to help rehabilitate and better prepare inmates for re-entry.

Abstract:
9531 Background: Insomnia (INS) is a highly prevalent side effect of hormonal therapy for breast cancer. Patients often turn to Rx sleep meds, which may lead to negative interactions with cancer therapeutics, dependency, rebound impairment, and do not cure INS. We conducted a secondary data analysis of a multi-site, phase III RCT examining the efficacy of yoga for improving INS and decreasing sleep medication usage among breast cancer patients currently receiving hormone therapy through the University of Rochester Cancer Center Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP). Methods: The original RCT randomized patients with any type of non-metastatic cancer without previous yoga participation into 2 arms: 1) standard care monitoring [controls] or 2) 4-week yoga intervention (2x/wk; 75 min/session) plus standard care. The yoga intervention utilized the UR Yoga for Cancer Survivors (YOCAS) program consisting of breathing exercises, 18 Hatha and Restorative yoga postures, and meditation. Only breast cancer patients currently receiving aromatase inhibitors (N = 95) or tamoxifen (N = 72) were included in this analysis. Changes in INS and sleep meds between the groups were assessed using ANCOVA with baseline values as covariates. Results: Despite using Rx sleep meds at baseline, INS, assessed by the Insomnia Severity Index, was worse for those women compared to women not taking any Rx sleep meds (Rx = 15.3 vs No Rx = 13.1; p<0.01). Yoga participants demonstrated greater improvements in INS compared to controls (CS=change score; Yoga CS = −3.3 vs Control CS = −0.5; p<0.01). In addition to improved INS, yoga participants significantly decreased Rx sleep med usage compared to controls (Yoga = −17.6% vs Control = −3.3%; p=0.04). There was also a trend toward lower combined Rx/Non-Rx sleep med use for the yoga group compared to controls (Yoga = −14.5% vs Control = −3.1%; p=0.09). Conclusions: YOCAS yoga is a safe intervention that significantly improves INS while concurrently reducing Rx sleep medication usage among breast cancer patients receiving hormone therapy.

Resumo: Yoga é uma das seis escolas filosóficas da Índia e neste texto é entendido como um caminho, uma filosofia de vida amparada por princípios técnicos, filosóficos e éticos. Nas últimas décadas, foi possível observar o aumento do número de praticantes e de cursos especializados para a formação de professores de yoga. O caráter recente, somada a falta de institucionalização desta profissão, torna estes professores um grupo ainda pouco estudado. Diante deste cenário, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar a trajetória destes profissionais, assim como as implicações desta escolha na vida destes sujeitos. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa a qual utilizou entrevistas semi-estruturadas para investigar a trajetória de doze professores de yoga da cidade de Campinas. As entrevistas foram transcritas e a análise dos dados foi realizada com o auxílio de um modelo de análise de trajetória construído a partir da revisão sistemática da literatura. Os discursos indicaram que o envolvimento com o yoga acarreta rupturas em diversas dimensões da vida. Sugerem ainda que o alicerce desta escolha profissional esteja além do retorno financeiro ou da estabilidade profissional, e surge como uma forma de satisfazer necessidades ontológicas do ser. (Esta pesquisa contou com o auxílio financeiro da CAPES).
Abstract: Yoga is one of the six philosophical schools of India and in this text is understood as a path, a life's philosophy supported by ethics, philosophical and technical principles. At recent decades, an increase in the number of practitioners have been observed and also the development of many Yoga teachers' courses. The recent condition of this new profession makes these teachers a group that needs to be studied. In this circumstance, the goal of this research was to investigate these professional's trajectory, as well as the life's implications of this professional path. To achieve this goal, a qualitative research was conducted in which semi-structured interviews were used to investigate the trajectory of twelve yoga's teachers of Campinas city. The interviews were transcribed and the data's analysis was done with the support of an analysis' trajectory model constructed through the systematic literature review. These speeches demonstrated that this professional choice leads to disruptions on several life's aspects. They also suggest that the basis of this career choice is beyond the financial return or professional stability, and stand as a way to satisfy ontological needs. (This research had financial support from CAPES).

Ph.D.
Eastern practices have an increasing presence in Western locations of human services, such as mental health, hospitals, non-profits, prisons, K-12 education, among others. This trend includes the university and pedagogies of first year writing. The application of Eastern contemplative practice helps some people in certain circumstances, but its use raises questions. In the university classroom, methods like mindfulness meditation and yoga may offer perspectives that inform pedagogy. But, these interventions often lack concrete applicability to course content, oversimplify theoretical foundation of the original Eastern practices, and seem disparate from, rather than integral to, standard curriculum. My dissertation analyzes how yogic practice is already embedded in the discipline of composition and rhetoric. By resignifying rhetorical scholarship as yogic, I shape a new and amalgamated conception of agency deploying yogic and Western perspectives. I call this yogic agency. By constructing, defining, and unraveling the function of yogic agency in the writing classroom, I extract, analyze, and refigure the yogic philosophy and practice as always and already underlying scholarship of composition and rhetoric. My dissertation integrates yogic and rhetorical perspectives into one. I aim to sharpen and clarify of the role of yoga, as well as other alternative Eastern frameworks, in the Western writing classroom. There is sometimes an assumption that yoga is a pedagogical intervention replacing less effective teaching methods. This operates on the notion that our field is in a position of deficit. Instead, I generate yogic agency to illustrate the feeling of having control of one’s worldview as a means to embody a way of perceiving that one already has everything within in order to become rhetorical agents of one’s own life. I am not presenting a new way of teaching and learning but rather, a pronounced vision of the discipline as yoga surfaces within its theories.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Mer än 300 miljoner människor i världen lider av depression vilket skapar ett stort lidande. Den psykiatriska hälso- och sjukvården bör arbeta enligt ett holistiskt förhållningssätt och sjuksköterskan ska stödja patientens egenvårdsförmåga. Yoga och mindfulness har visat sig ha en hälsofrämjande effekt på många somatiska tillstånd.  Syfte: Att beskriva betydelsen av yoga och mindfulness för patienter med depression. Resultat: Litteraturstudie baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ, kvantitativ och mixad design. Data analyserades med utgångspunkt från Wittenmore och Knafls (2005) metod för integrativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet om yogan och mindfulness betydelse utmynnade i två teman; ”Inre process” och ”Återhämtning” och åtta kategorier; Copingverktyg, Empowerment, Depressiva symtom, Kunskap och kompetens, Psykisk förändring, Fysisk hälsa, Holistisk upplevelse och Upplevda svårigheter. Yogan upplevdes som ett copingverktyg för symtomlindring och ledde till en ökad inre styrka och empowerment. Den minskade de depressiva symtomen. Deltagarna fick kunskap om hur kropp och sinne samverkar och de fick en ökad självacceptans. Yogaträningen gav lugn och avslappning samt fysiska hälsoförbättringar. Många upplevde en samhörighet och att vara del i ett större sammanhang. Upplevda svårigheter var fysiska begränsningar, koncentrationssvårigheter, inre press, dåligt samvete och planering. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuteras utifrån Phil Barkers Tidvattenmodell samt relevant forskning.

Morris, Zackery David. "A SINGER’S STRESS: YOGA AND MEDITATION TECHNIQUES IN THE COLLEGIATE VOICE STUDIO." UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/music_etds/138.

Full text
Abstract:
Often neglected in voice study is the understanding that a singer’s instrument lives in his/her body and therefore cannot be packed away like other musical objects. Yoga and mindfulness compliment the belief of a whole body instrument. Data gathered on college campuses report that stress and anxiety are on the rise, thus reinforcing the need for MBSR and yoga as beneficial and proven tools for stress relief. The current state of research in the realm of mental health in colleges merits the study of a cohesive layout of these exercises and their expected outcomes in singing as well as stress management. Therefore, this document will present yoga sequences that align with the core aspects of singing including breath support, fluid vocal production and artistic expression. Exercises founded on principles of mindfulness are provided to bring awareness of mental qualities within a singer. Mental qualities gained from meditation practice include improved self-esteem, lowered anxiety, and increased focus. Yoga sequences will focus on certain areas of the body commonly addressed in voice studies. Collections of yoga asana, or postures, are featured to allow singers to recognize tightness and inefficiencies in their bodies, thus improving vocal function. This guide will combine yoga traditions along with mindfulness research to introduce ancient philosophies to singers and their teachers, resulting in meaningful and productive voice lessons.

Narrative research methods are used to reveal the participants’ own perceptions of their experiences of meditation. The narratives presented include that of an educator and meditation teacher who has been practising yogic meditation for over 40 years, as well as three schoolteachers who more recently came to the practice of meditation and were experienced classroom teachers before and after taking up this practice. The findings reveal that (1) the teachers perceive their meditation practice to have a beneficial impact on their lives, and by extension their work as teachers; (2) the impact their meditation practice has on their classroom teaching may not be obvious to an outside observer. Instead it is experienced by the participants to be an internal enrichment: a transformation of their thought patterns and perceptions of feelings and events; and (3) the longer the participant has been practising meditation, and the more they have immersed themselves in the philosophical study that traditionally accompanies yogic practice, the more complex may be their understandings of their meditation experience. This research also highlights the problems with imposing Western knowledge frameworks on practices that have traditionally been accompanied by an existent theoretical framework. The researcher argues for further study of classical yogic meditation practices in light of their potential benefits for educators, with the caveat that such research should be undertaken by researchers who have experienced authentic immersion in the study of yoga and its classical philosophies.

Resumo: O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é estudar o fenômeno da fisiologia sutil humana, ou anatomia multidimensional humana (Gerber, 1988), e o objetivo específico é observar se a percepção desta fisiologia é possível por meio da prática do Yoga. Para o Yoga o ser humano é constituído por estruturas sutis de energia chamadas de Chacras, Koshas e Nadis. A pesquisa se constitui no campo da fenomenologia (Moreira, 2002), e aborda algumas temáticas que visam à compreensão do fenômeno da energia sutil humana. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, de caráter qualitativo, onde foram organizados dois grupos de prática de Hatha Yoga ao longo da pesquisa. Para aferir a percepção dos participantes, foram utilizados questionários, anotações no diário de campo, anotações dos alunos em desenhos por eles produzidos, e ainda seus relatos espontâneos ocorridos ao final da prática. Foi realizada a análise temática dos dados recolhidos (Bardin, 2011), os quais foram comparados com as percepções incomuns que ocorrem durante a meditação e que são descritas por Kornfield (1993). Foi observado que os participantes da pesquisa de campo tiveram alguma percepção das estruturas sutis do corpo.
