Este trabalho traz uma análise do significado da experiência corporal de um grupo de praticantes de Hatha Yoga na cidade de Florianópolis. A partir da trajetória pessoal e dos ensinamentos de um instrutor aos seus alunos de um curso de formação, observo a construção de uma visão de mundo individualizante construída a partir do corpo. Dentro desse contexto, associei a visão de mundo yogi e a sua disseminação no ocidente ao que Dumont chamou de individualismo romântico. Denominei como busca romântica moderna o discurso de #resgate da tradição#, de retorno à essência, presente dentro do contexto yogi estudado. Discurso que é construído a partir de uma crítica ao #yoga físico# e alicerçado na visão de mundo do Vedanta. Esse trabalho contribui para as reflexões antropológicas acerca da representação do corpo e da formação do sujeito na contemporaneidade, bem como ajuda a repensarmos os estudos sobre o campo alternativo. This study brings an analyses of the corporal meaning of being an yogi. By the personal itinerary and the teachings of an Yoga teacher and his students, I observed an world view centered in the self and built always in reference to the body. In this context, I associated the yogi world view with that Dumont called romantic individualism. I named as modern romantic search the speech of the reviving #tradition#. Speech which is built against a body centered Yoga. This work may contribute to anthropologic studies about representation of the body and to the new age cam of studies.

Syfte och frågeställningar
Syftet är att undersöka yoga och dess förhållande till hälsa ur ett fysiskt, psykiskt och själsligt perspektiv.
Frågeställningarna är:
- Hur beskrivs vägen mot tillståndet yoga enligt YogaSutras utifrån ett fysiskt, psykiskt och själsligt perspektiv?
- Hur beskrivs tillståndet yoga enligt YogaSutras utifrån ett fysiskt, psykiskt och själsligt perspektiv?
- På vilket sätt förhåller sig yoga enligt YogaSutras till hälsa utifrån ett fysiskt, psykiskt och själsligt perspektiv?
Metod
Metoden består av en textanalys ur en innehållsaspekt. Boken som används heter YogaSutras är skriven på sanskrit och översatt till engelska. Texten har bearbetats genom meningskoncentration och kategoriseras utifrån perspektiven fysiskt, psykiskt och själsligt, som en del utav det övergripande begreppet hälsa. Resultaten har sedan analyserat med stöd av Katie Erikssons hälsoteori.
Resultat
Resultatet visar att YogaSutras beskriver olika metoder och tekniker som individen kan utföra på vägen mot det slutgiltiga tillståndet yoga. Dessa innefattar fysiska, psyksiska och själsliga perspektiv. De tre perspektiven sker också i samverkan av varandra. I det slutgiltiga tillståndet yoga är de tre perspektiven integrerade. Detta överstämmer väl med Erikssons definition av hälsobegreppet.
Slutsats
Det står det klart att det finns minst ett förhållande mellan yoga och hälsa, vilket är att yoga bidrar till hälsa hos individen. Detta får även stöd av presenterad forskning. Det slutgiltiga tillståndet yoga kan även anses vara jämförbart med det optimala hälsotillståndet, eftersom tillstånden överensstämmer med varandra.

Full textAbstract:
Scientific research is just beginning to empirically prove what people who practice somatic disciplines have known for years. In this thesis, I theorize that it is possible to combine yoga and somatics with modern research into the mind and body in a manner that could facilitate healing in a holistic, beneficial manner. There is an indisputable relationship between a person's overall physical and mental health. The practice of yoga strives to facilitate both physical and mental health, in addition to inner peace and well-being. By identifying similarities between the teachings of yoga and modern kinesthetic research, it is possible to gain a better understanding of why and how yoga makes practitioners feel better.

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).

Blinne, Kristen Caroline. "Communication as Yoga." Scholar Commons, 2014. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4986.
Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I am in conversation with the following questions: How can individuals and communities teach and learn to engage more peacefully, nonviolently, and compassionately with each other? Further, how can one practice a style of communication that helps at least one person suffer less each day? In asking these questions, my goal has been to imagine as well as attempt to actualize a world where individuals and communities work together to create less suffering in each other's lives by first developing compassionate awareness of our interconnectedness, then "waking up" not only to our own divinity but also to that place in all of us where the entire universe dwells. In this dissertation, communication is situated as both a spiritual practice and as a practice of yoga.
To illuminate this notion, I have sequenced this text as a yoga practice in and of itself, employing Shiva Rea's "wave methodology" to introduce and support the peak purpose of this text -communication as yoga - via svadhyaya, or self-study, as a path to expand relational awareness through everyday small acts or micropractices. Communication, thus, becomes an emergent process based in yoga philosophy and practice wherein one learns to acknowledge and take responsibility for one's interactions with others and other realities by recognizing one's shared vulnerability. To heighten this awareness, this text includes 108 asanas or micropractices, which serve to explore my guiding questions as well as exemplify communication as yoga - as an everyday practice.

Full textAbstract:
Barn mår bra av att leka och röra på sig men i dagens samhälle använder man teknisk utrustning i allt större omfattning både inom hemmet och i skolan. Detta medför olika negativa effekter så som koncentrationssvårigheter och övervikt. Undersökningar och studier visar också att barn och unga upplever stress i vardagen på grund av krav från skolan, hemmet och sig själva. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka förskolepedagogers upplevelser av yoga bland barn. De som valts ut att delta i studien är pedagoger på en förskola där yoga är en del i förskolans program. Telefonintervjuer har genomförts med tre av förskolans pedagoger. Resultaten visar på att förskolepedagogerna upplever att yoga har en lugnande effekt på barnen och barngrupperna upplevs harmoniska. Barnen upplevs även känna förståelse och empati för varandra samt att de kan sätta gränser. Dock uppger pedagogerna att dessa upplevelser kan vara en indirekt påverkan från pedagogernas beteende bland barnen samt att effekterna kan komma av andra orsaker än från yogan. Slutsatserna blir att förskolepedagogerna i denna studie upplever att yoga har positiv effekt på barn i förskoleålder men det krävs mer forskning inom området.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the nature of ‘the self’ modern yoga practitioners cultivate. This ontological question is further divided into three sub-questions to find the answer stepby- step. They are: (1) How yoga practice influences practitioners' health and wellbeing; (2) How yoga practice influences the management of life crises; (3) How yoga practice influences the ‘sense of self’. Modern yoga in the West has been expanding rapidly after the Second World War, and the last 15 years in particular show an exponential growth. Although the numbers are hard to estimate, there were reportedly over 2.5 million practitioners in Britain alone in 2004 (Singleton, 2008). Similar numbers of yoga practitioners were reported in other countries (Strauss, 2004). However, the modern form of yoga practiced in Britain is not the same as the Indian traditional form of yoga. In Britain, the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) officially represents the majority of the yoga population. This study has used hermeneutic phenomenology, chiefly that of Heidegger and of Merleau-Ponty, as a research methodology, because it enabled the researcher to understand the subjective lived experiences of modern yoga practitioners. For data collection, 15 in-depth interviews of BWY members, selected using the snowballing and theoretical methods, were carried out. Through analysis, six major themes emerged. They were: ‘Health and Well being’; ‘Management of Life Crises’; ‘Sense of Self and Yoga Development’; ‘CAMs & GPs’; ‘Relationships’; ‘Spirituality’. Following the analysis of the main themes, I explored the meaning of ‘the self’, and discussed it from two points of view: the inner-self arisen from embodied practice of yoga through relaxation and bodily proprioception, and the outer self situated in-theworld in relation with other people, which was captured as social self, and considered from various dimensions such as language and ideology, BWY lineage, globalization and commercialism. In a nutshell, this study found that ‘the self’ for the BWY practitioners was embodied, health orientated and secular. ‘The self’ of yoga was further compared and contrasted with four self development models: Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra; Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs; Dreyfus/Merleau-Ponty’s Skill Acquisition model and The Ten Oxherding Pictures of Zen Buddhism. Lastly, the value of yoga for public health was explored using the anthropological idea of dis-ease. This study found that yoga’s therapeutic usefulness mainly came from ‘empowerment’, providing practitioners with yoga skills to take control of their own body and health.

Full textAbstract:
Lo yoga per bambini è una disciplina interessante ed in rapida diffusione.
Non sono rinvenibili nella letteratura percorsi per la formazione di educatori in Yoga per bambini che ne sviluppino giustificatamente gli aspetti metodologico-didattici e i principi yogici.
Tale formazione, per risultare efficace, deve essere supportata da modelli dalla solida base teorica, impianto metodologico-didattico e pratica yogica.
La ricerca fornisce un modello, prendendo in esame e perfezionando il “Corso di Formazione Internazionale in Yoga Educativo” (COFYE).
Con il termine “Yoga Educativo” (Y.E.) s’intende un metodo basato sulle pratiche yogiche, con bambini/ragazzi attraverso il movimento giocoso, l’ascolto interno, il rafforzamento e la collaborazione che permettono, di trovare tempi e spazi per lo sviluppo di autoconoscenza, consapevolezza, stabilità ed empatia coinvolgendo il corpo, la mente ed il cuore, attraverso la sensibilità e le emozioni.
In riferimento al COFYE la ricerca si pone le seguenti domande:
a. Quali devono essere i riferimenti teorici più appropriati all’interno del vasto panorama dello yoga, per la definizione di un percorso formativo dello Y.E. ?
b. Quale dev’essere l’impianto didattico-metodologico?
c. Può esso essere in grado di trasmettere principi, contenuti, metodologia e tecnica in modo efficace?
1. L’indagine teoretica (bibliografica) ha indicato, due testi dello yoga classico, la Bagavad Gita e lo Yogasutra di Patanjali, quali riferimenti storici fondamentali per lo Y.E, poiché colgono basilari principi e contenuti, a cui lo Yoga Moderno dovrebbe attenersi.
Rispetto al panorama contemporaneo l’Okido Yoga rappresenta un riferimento per lo Y.E., coniugando l’atteggiamento introspettivo al carattere sociale, incontrando così i bisogni relazionali di bambini/ragazzi. Si contraddistingue inoltre per l'equilibrio tra l’attenzione verso la condizione fisica, quella mentale e dello stato d’animo, ben corrispondendo ai principi e al percorso indicato da Patanjali nello “Yogasutra”.
2. L’attività di Ricerca-Azione, si sostanzia nell’analisi (con il software “Release”) di 495 report, compilati dai corsisti al termine di ogni incontro di formazione e nelle successive riflessioni del team di ricerca. Ciò ha permesso di andare oltre le risposte alle iniziali domande di ricerca, mostrandosi come strumento efficace per migliorare il COFYE nella didattica e nei contenuti, definendo un possibile modello per la formazione dei formatori in Y.E.
Dall’analisi testuale è risultato che la valorizzazione del background dei corsisti, assieme alle attività laboratoriali-partecipative: simulazioni, flipped classroom, cooperative learning, stage e lavoro tra gruppi di pari, hanno coinvolto i partecipanti fisicamente, mentalmente ed emotivamente, sia come singoli che in gruppo.
Ciò ha favorito la comprensione dei principi, delle tecniche dello Y.E. e l’acquisizione di un atteggiamento di apertura per un rispettoso approccio a bambini/ragazzi.
In conclusione nell’ambito della ricerca educativa (Baldacci e Frabboni, 2013), l’indagine qualitativa (Cardano, 2011) ed il metodo R-A, (Losito-Pozzo, 2008), hanno permesso allo Y.E. di affinare l’impianto metodologico-didattico (Castagna, 2002) e di scoprirne e migliorarne progressivamente le possibilità applicative, riuscendo a unire la dimensione storica dello yoga, (Patanjali, 2015) con le esperienze e gli studi contemporanei, nell’ambito delle scienze della formazione (Dionisi e Garuti, 2011).
Tale ricerca apre nuovi possibili spazi di indagine e attesta la rilevanza di uno stretto legame tra ricerca universitaria e pratica formativa, anche in un campo emergente come quello dello yoga educativo.
Traccia nuove piste di indagine sull’integrazione tra i principi, le pratiche yogiche e la professionalità dell’insegnante.Yoga for children is an interesting and rapidly spreading discipline. No academic literature or specific educational path for scholars and trainers that develops the methodological and didactic aspects of the yogic principles for children has been formulated yet. Such pioneer approach, in order to be effective, it must be supported by models with a solid theoretical base, a methodological-didactic system and a yogic practice. The present research aims to provide a model, grounding its conclusions on the assessment and evaluation of the "International Training in Educational Yoga" (ITEY). The term "Educational Yoga" (EY) represents a didactic method based on yogic practices, applied to children through playful activities, meditation, physical strengthening and cooperation group-activities that allow them to find time and space for the development of self-knowledge and awareness, mental stability and empathy by involving the body, mind and heart, through sensitivity and emotions. Intrinsically rooted to the ITEY approach, the present investigation provides the answer to the following questions: to. What should be the most appropriate theoretical references within the extensive realm of yoga, for the definition of a training path of EY for teachers and trainers? b. What should be the didactic-methodological system beneath it? c. Is such educational method able to transmit principles, contents, methodology and techniques to future teachers and trainers effectively? 1. The present inquiry has highlighted two fundamental manuscripts of traditional Yoga, namely the Bagavad Gita and the Yogasutra of Patanjali, considered to be the fundamental historical references for EY, since they capture the very basic principles and contents, to which contemporary Yoga grounds its roots in. With respect to the present yogic context, the Okido Yoga is considered to be the most suitable source for EY to rely on, since it combines the introspective attitude to the more social one, satisfying this way both the relational needs of children / teenagers as well as the more meditational inclination of the yogic tradition. It also stands out for its attention to the critical balance between the physical, the mental and the emotional condition of kids, which may be found also in the Yogasutra doctrine introduced by Patanjali. 2. The Action Research methodology consists in the analysis (through the “Release” software) of the 495 surveys on students, which at the end of each EY training have been asked to fill out specific questioners with regard to the benefits and impact that the EY practice have had on them, directly and indirectly. These first hand resources allowed us to demonstrate the ever-growing potential of the ITEY as an effective educational tool able to improve and develop the quality of trainers by providing a structural model for the application of the EY methodology. The literature analysis has shown that the enhancement of the students' background, together with the workshop-participatory activities, proposed by the ITEY through simulation laboratories, flipped classroom approach, cooperative learning, internships and teamwork between groups of peers, have successfully attracted the interest and the active participation of all students physically as well as mentally and emotionally, both as individuals and in groups. Such acknowledgment of the positive benefits and impact of the EY approach has significantly favored a deeper and more sound understanding of guiding principles, holistic techniques and above all the acquisition of an attitude of openness for a respectful approach towards children and teenagers. In conclusion in the field of educational research (Baldacci and Frabboni, 2013), the qualitative survey (Cardano, 2011) and the Action-Research method, (Losito-Pozzo, 2008), allowed EY to refine its methodological-didactic structure (Castagna, 2002) and to discover and progressively improve its applicability, keeping a strong connection with the traditional dimension of yoga (Patanjali, 2015) as well as with the contemporary experiences and studies in the field of educational sciences (Dionisi and Garuti, 2011). This research opens up new possibilities for investigation. First of all, it attests to the relevance of a significant correlation between academic research and training practice, even in an emerging field such as educational yoga. Secondly, it traces new avenues of investigation regarding the possible integration between holistic principles, yogic practices and professional development of teachers and trainers.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur förskollärare uppfattar yoga och de eventuella skillnader som framkommer i verksamheten efter yogaanvändningen, samt om den kan vara en metod för att motverka stress hos barn. Resultatet visar att förskollärarna uppfattade att det finns olika förhållningssätt till yoga i förskolan. Intervjupersoner ansåg att barnyoga ska vara roligt, spännande och lekfullt. Däremot uppfattades yogaanvändningen med barn i behov av särskilt stöd i somliga fall som komplicerad. Detta eftersom barnen, i vissa situationer, kan ha svårt att koncentrera sig eller utföra de fysiska rörelserna. Resultatet visar dessutom att yoga inte alltid prioriteras, på grund av tidsaspekt eller personaltäthet. I resultatet framkom yoga som estetik, i form av rörelse och språk, för att kunna praktisera yoga i linje med läroplanen. Barnen uppfattades även stärka sin fysiska förmåga såsom kroppskontroll och motorik. De uppfattades även som lugnare och tryggare efter yogapraktiserandet. Metoden som har använts i studien är kvalitativa, semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Sex förskollärare som arbetar med barnyoga i förskolan har intervjuats. Tre intervjuer utfördes i personligt möte och tre gjordes på telefon. I analysen, vilken gjordes utifrån en fenomenografisk utgångspunkt, framträdde tre huvudteman: Yoga som övertygelse: hur förskollärarnas entusiasm kan ha påverkat hur de ser på yogapraktiserandet i förskolan. Yoga som åtgärd: vilka effekter yogaanvändningen uppfattades ge i den dagliga verksamheten. Yoga som verktyg: om och hur yoga kan användas som verktyg för att arbeta med läroplanen. Samt förskollärarnas uppfattningar om yoga kan vara ett verktyg för barnen att hantera stress genom livet.

Abstract
Over the past few years there has been an increasing number of people practicing yoga. There also have been reports of injuries as a result of practicing yoga. Many injuries have been attributed to poor teaching which can result in improper alignment. This study utilized a teaching technology, TAGteach to aide in skill acquisition of novice yoga practitioners. The current study focused on teaching three beginner asanas (poses) to novice practitioners. The intervention included the asanas being broken down by task analysis and the steps tagged one by one. The intervention was assessed by a multiple baseline across behaviors design. All targeted yoga postures improved upon the implementation of TAGteach and the results maintained after reinforcement was no longer provided and generalized to the yoga class setting.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past two decades, yoga has become a global phenomenon. Publications, events, sites and styles of practice, as well as the number of teachers and practitioners have grown exponentially, diversifying and reconfiguring yoga as a central component of paths of spiritual research, wellness, health, personal development, renewal of lifestyles and social transformation. Meanwhile yoga has assumed a prominent position in academic research, transcending the disciplinary boundaries of the history of philosophy and religions, to enter the fields of the bio-medical and the social sciences. This dissertation looks at yoga through the lens of sociology. Informed by my personal experience as a scholar-practitioner, it is grounded on an ethnographic research conducted in the city of Genoa and on the analysis of the imagery concerning women, the body and the practice of yoga. The research identifies continuities and interferences between the contexts of practice and the cultural repertoires in the yogaland, focusing on the representation of white femininity as an ideological construct that mediates the normalization of a yoga-for-all universalist paradigm. It then shows how the intersection of gender and coloniality configures the contexts of practice, the spheres of production of knowledge (including the academia) and the imaginaries around yoga, within a political-economic regime of precarity. The body of yoga, as a historically situated locus of experience and reproduction of practices concerning health, healing, spirituality, well-being, personal growth and social transformation, redefines corporeal, social and cultural boundaries of the yoga-for-all paradigm. At the same time, the thesis identifies dissonances between representation and experience, recognizing in the practicing body a legitimate site of signifying experience, where the combined effects of compulsory heterosexuality and racism are deposited and where the material repercussions of precarity are inscribed. In this sense, interferences emerged with respect to the dominant representation of the body of yoga open up a space for constructing a micro-politics of the practice.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Koncentrations- och uppmärksamhetsförmågorna är betydelsefulla att inneha för att barnen ska kunna tillgodogöra sig lärandet fullt ut i skolan. Koncentration betyder att kunna behålla sin sin uppmärksamhet under en viss tid, utan att tankarna drar iväg. För de barnen som har svårigheter med att samordna sin perception, samt rikta sina tankar mot ett särskilt ändamål, får besvärligheter inom olika områden, som i sin tur påverkar deras beteende. Det kan medföra en negativ inverkan på deras relation till sin omgivning. Genom yoga- och mindfulnessövningar, tränas närvaron och koncentrationen, vilket resulterar till att barnen blir lugnare och därmed blir det lättare för dem att rikta sin uppmärksamhet mot det som ska läras i skolan. Syftet: Vårt syfte med den här litteraturstudien var att undersöka, beskriva och sammanställa om asanas, meditation och andningsövningar, så kallade yoga- och mindfulnessbaserade övningar, hade utövats av barn i forskningssammanhang inom skolmiljön. Metod: Litteraturstudie med innehåll av tretton vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Barnen förbättrade sin koncentrations- och uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Självregleringen stärktes, samt självkänslan ökade. Flera lärare upplevde ett behagligare klimat i klassrummet. Även kamratrelationer och familjeförhållanden förbättrades. Slutsats: Yoga- och mindfulnessbaserade övningar stärker barnens koncentrations- och uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Barnen blir lugnare och mer harmoniska.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo describir los niveles de Autogobierno en practicantes de yoga. Para ello se evaluó a 81 practicantes de yoga y a 80 personas que no practicaban yoga, que presentaban características sociodemográficas equivalentes, utilizando el Inventario de Componentes Volitivos (Kazén-Saad, 2004), adaptado en una muestra peruana (Argumedo y Romero, 2011). Los resultados indicaron que la práctica de yoga presentaba diferencias significativas con sólo dos áreas del Autogobierno, presentando una relación inversa con la Autorregulación y el Estrés General. Asimismo, se encontró una correlación inversa entre dichas áreas y la frecuencia semanal y el tiempo de práctica.This research aims to describe the levels of Volitional Components in yoga practitioners. For this research we took 81 yoga practitioners and 80 non-practitioners, who shared the same socio-demographic characteristics. They were assessed using the Volitional Components Inventory (Kazén-Saad, 2004), adapted for a Peruvian sample (Argumedo and Romero, 2011). The results suggested an inverse relationship between yoga practice and two areas of the Volitional Components: Self-Regulation and General Stress. Furthermore, the results showed inverse correlations between these areas as well as the weekly frequency and the time of practice.

Introduction: The starting point of our research object is a historical study of the view of the body, corporeality and spirituality through the Yoga tradition a documentary research correlated with changes in body perceptions expressed by the students of a Yoga class in the city of João Pessoa, between 2012 and 2013. Objective: Analyze the changing perceptions and spiritual body through the practice of Yoga - the awakening of spirituality, expressed by students in a class of Yoga, under an extension project. Methods: The methodological approach of this study includes a qualitative approach called descriptive and exploratory research, with the development of research tools adapted to the reality under study towards the social context of the subjects. We can consider that the great relevance of this Master Thesis is in combining a research of bibliographical character with field research, through the method of quasi-experimental research design, under a university extension program. In this sense, we can characterize our work also as an action-research. Analysis and Results: Within the total sample of questionnaires applied, 18 student questionnaires with minimum frequency were selected 70% by the end of the course. The selected students completed the questionnaires at two times during the Yoga course: in the beginning of the classes in October 2012 and at the end, in December 2012, with only one break, of almost three months 26 classes. After conducting a t-test for repeated measurements, no significant difference was verified in the pre and post-test means as a function of the scale factors (p>0.05). This result suggests that there has been no regression or progress in spiritual well-being (Bem Estar Espiritual BEE) in any of the factors of those practicing Hatha-Yoga during the period of the extension program. Conclusions: Thus, we can verify that the statements composing this ethnographic research corroborate for one of the initial objectives of the research, which is precisely to analyze the relationship between the theory and the practice of Yoga with the changes in spiritual and body perception the awakening of spirituality expressed by the students of a Yoga class in a university extension program (PROBEX). However, we believe that the great merit of our research is not exactly in the statistical results obtained from the BEE questionnaire, but in the very use of this questionnaire in a pioneer way with no previous publications, in an academic research about Yoga in Brazil. given these findings, we can associate the sense of body-corporeality of the human being to the physical posture signs of Yoga, through body and cognitive capturing of the practice, ideas and concepts reflected in concrete reality, such as the posture before the world, the people, personal and spiritual experiences, combining with the personal, community, environmental and transcendental factors of the BEE analysis. Keywords: Yoga, Hatha-Yoga, body, spirituality.
Introdução: O ponto de partida do nosso objeto de pesquisa é o estudo histórico da visão de corpo, corporeidade e espiritualidade através da tradição do Yoga pesquisa documental correlacionado com as mudanças de percepções corporais expressas pelos alunos de uma turma de Yoga no município de João Pessoa, entre os anos de 2012 e 2013. Objetivo: Analisar as mudanças de percepções espirituais e corporais através da prática do Yoga o despertar da espiritualidade, expressas pelos alunos de uma turma de Yoga, no âmbito de um projeto de extensão universitária (PROBEX). Métodos: O procedimento metodológico desta pesquisa inclui uma abordagem qualitativa denominada pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, com elaboração de instrumentos de pesquisa adequados à realidade em estudo orientado para o contexto social dos sujeitos. Podemos considerar que a grande relevância desta pesquisa de mestrado está em unir uma pesquisa de caráter bibliográfico à pesquisa de campo, através do método de delineamento de pesquisa quase-experimental, no âmbito de uma extensão universitária. Nesse sentido, podemos caracterizar nosso trabalho também como uma pesquisa-ação. Análise e Resultado: Dentro da amostra total de questionários aplicados, foram selecionados 18 questionários de alunos com frequência mínima 70% até o fim do curso. Os alunos selecionados responderam ao questionário em dois momentos do curso de Yoga: no início as aulas em Outubro de 2012 e no fim em Dezembro de 2012, com um intervalo apenas quase três meses 26 aulas. Após a realização de um teste t para medidas repetidas não foi verificado nenhuma diferença significativa nas médias do pré e pós-teste em função dos fatores da escala (p>0,05). Esse resultado sugere que não houve regressão, nem evolução no Bem Estar Espiritual (BEE) em nenhum dos fatores dos praticantes de Hatha-Yoga durante o período da extensão. Conclusões: Podemos verificar dessa forma, que os depoimentos componentes da pesquisa etnográfica corroboram para um dos objetivos iniciais da pesquisa, que seria justamente analisar a relação entre a teoria e prática do Yoga com as mudanças de percepções espirituais e corporais o despertar da espiritualidade expressas pelos alunos de uma turma de Yoga, no âmbito de um projeto de extensão universitária (PROBEX). No entanto, consideramos que o grande mérito de nossa pesquisa não está exatamente nos resultados estatísticos obtidos com a aplicação do questionário de BEE, mas sim na própria utilização deste questionário de forma pioneira sem publicações anteriores, em uma pesquisa de caráter acadêmico sobre Yoga no Brasil. Diante dessas conclusões, podemos associar o sentido de corpo-corporeidade do ser humano aos signos das posturas físicas do Yoga, através da captação corporal e cognitiva da prática, ideias e conceitos refletidos na realidade concreta, como a postura diante do mundo, das pessoas, vivências pessoais e espirituais, combinando com os fatores: Pessoal, comunitário, ambiental e transcendental da análise do BEE.

O envelhecimento populacional constitui um dos maiores fenômenos do presente século e tem contribuído para o surgimento de inúmeros estudos e propostas de trabalho direcionadas ao idoso. Como exemplo, tem-se a prática de yoga que teve sua origem na cultura indiana há cerca de 5000 anos e que atualmente amplia o seu campo de atuação para as mais diversas faixas etárias, especialmente para o idoso. Este trabalho propõe práticas desta modalidade para pessoas com sessenta anos ou mais, com enfoque em uma melhor qualidade de vida dessas pessoas e, integrar, como alternativa, essas práticas nos programas de saúde realizados em universidades, em prefeituras e em centros de convivência. O principal objetivo deste estudo consiste em revelar e interpretar a percepção de idosos sobre os efeitos que obtiveram com a prática de yoga. Após a realização de uma intervenção de Hatha Yoga e Yogaterapia com duração de vinte meses entre 2008 e 2009, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 27 idosos, com idade entre 60 e 84 anos e média de 69,5 anos. O presente estudo trata de uma pesquisa qualitativa que tem como estratégia metodológica a pesquisa-ação. Foram encontrados diversos efeitos da prática de yoga. A nível físico, destacam-se o equilíbrio do organismo e melhora dos sistemas corporais # principalmente o digestivo, respiratório, nervoso e locomotor -, o alívio da dor, o aumento da flexibilidade, o despertar da consciência corporal, a prevenção de insônia, maior disposição, sensação de leveza e bem-estar geral; a nível psicoemocional destacam-se o relaxamento, a melhora da concentração e memória, a sensação de paz, calma e tranquilidade e um controle maior sobre a ansiedade; a nível sócioafetivo, foram encontradas categorias que valorizam o convívio social e a importância do grupo; a nível espiritual, destaca-se a união do espiritual com o físico; a harmonização e equilíbrio do corpo, da mente, das emoções e do espírito. Tais elementos foram encontrados na literatura, dando suporte à experiência vivida. Estudos experimentais indicam que Yogaterapia pode ajudar no controle e na cura de muitas doenças crônicas. Recomenda-se, a partir deste estudo, a incorporação deste método em programas de saúde para idosos, bem como a realização de novas propostas de pesquisa com enfoque na prática de yoga direcionada ao idoso.
Population ageing is regarded as a considerable phenomenon in the current century and it has contributed to countless studies concerning the elderly. Yoga, as an example has its roots in the Indian culture dating back 5.000 years ago and it has been widened its scope to several age groups, specially the elderly. The current study suggests yoga practicals for people who are sixty or older, focusing on a better quality of life and it also focuses on integrate these practicals with health programs in universities, city halls and in living centers. The principal aim of this study was to reveal and interpret the elderly perception about the effects they felt when they practiced yoga. After practicing Hatha Yoga and Yogatherapy for twenty months between 2008 and 2009 there were semi structured interviews with 27 elderly people, their age varying between 60 and 84 years old and an average of 69,5 years old. The current study is a qualitative research based on an action research methodology. Several effects of yoga were found out. At the physical level the elderly reported the balance of the organism and improvement in several systems: mainly digestive, respiratory, nervous and locomotor- pain relief, flexibility improvement, awakening of the body awareness, insomnia prevention, better state of health, lightness feeling and general well being; at the psycho-emotional level the elderly reported relaxing, improvement in the concentration and memory, peace feeling, serenity and tranquility and a better control of anxiety; at the socio-affective level the elderly reported social living and importance of the group; at the spiritual level it was pointed out the union between spiritual and physical, balance and harmony of mind, emotions and spirit. The effects above described were supported by the literature. Experimental studies indicate that Yogatherapy can help in the control and cure of many chronic diseases. It is recommended that this method should be used in health programs for elderly, as well as further research should be carried out focusing on yoga practicals for the elderly.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of writing this essay has been to find out what shape yoga has been given in Stockholm, as social processes have left their mark. With a mixed method we've performed a qualitative research to figure out how people reason regarding the subject and how the discourse forms by the active community. We have interviewed people who either teach yoga or performs yoga on a daily basis. We have also analyzed webpages belonging to yoga studios which are active in Stockholm. The central theories have been Durkheim’s theory about the holy and profane, also his theory about the ritual which has been reworked by Collins who added the theory about the symbol. McLeod’s theory about postcolonialism and Said’s theories about orientalism, exotification and the positioned superiority, has together with Askegaard and Eckhardt’s theory about the shapes of yoga also been important in this thesis. We have discovered that yoga has been shaped into two forms; a holiness which the yoga performers finds within themselves and the second form: a product of consumption which modifies to fit the market.Syftet med att skriva denna uppsats är att ta reda på vad yoga har fått för form i Stockholm allteftersom sociala processer satt sin prägel. Vi har med blandad kvalitativ metod utfört en undersökning för att ta reda på hur centrala aktörer själva resonerar samt hur diskursen formas av aktörer. Vi har utfört intervjuer med personer som är aktiva som yogalärare alternativt utövar yoga på daglig basis. Vi har även utfört analyser av hemsidor tillhörande yogastudios som är verksamma i Stockholm. De teorier som varit centrala i arbetet är Durkheims teori om det heliga och det profana, samt hans teori om ritualen vilken utarbetats av Collins som även adderat teorin om symboler. Ytterligare teorier som varit centrala är McLeods beskrivning av den postkoloniala värld vi lever i, tillsammans med Saids teori om orientalism, exotifiering och den västerländska positionerade överlägsenheten. Slutligen har vi använt Askegaard och Eckhardts teorier om yogans skepnader. Vår studie resulterade i att vi identifierat två former yoga fått i Stockholm, ena formen är yoga som helighet utövare upplever inom sig och den andra formen är yoga som konsumtionsprodukt med exotiska inslag vilken anpassar sig efter marknaden.

The purpose of this study was to investigate womens experience of yoga. The study applied a qualitative approach with thematical analysis. Six women in varying ages was interviewed and during the beginning of this study they participated in a yoga course. The analysis led to four themes: A different view of life, Demands and increased self-esteem, Body and emotion and Resistance and demands. The results showed that the women experience several positive effects of yoga like increased strength, calm, harmony and increased self-esteem. They also experience transpersonal experiences and altered states of consciousness to some degree. The results also show that the women feel some kind of resistance to yoga but this resistance overcomes because of motivational factors. The conlcusions are that the participants experiences agrees with previous research but other factors may affect the the experiences that are stated. More research in how altered states of conssciousness can affect self-esteem is proposed and also research in what motivates people to do yoga.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Stress samt stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa ökar i samhället och det är viktigt att finna alternativ som bromsar utvecklingen. Stress är ett normalt fysiologiskt tillstånd men under längre tid utan återhämtning kan stress leda till psykisk ohälsa. Yogastudier har visat en stressreducerande effekt på humör och yoga har blivit ett populärt alternativ för att minska upplevda stressymptom. Det kan därför vara intressant att studera bakomliggande mekanismer till upplevd stressreducering. Hormonet kortisol ökar vid stress. Kanske har yoga stressreducerande effekt via sänkning av hormonet. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att studera om upplevd stressreducering vid yogautövande har ett samband med sänkta kortisolnivåer hos friska vuxna individer. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes på artiklar publicerade 2009-2018. Artiklarna söktes upp i PubMed samt Web of Science. Resultat: Nio studier granskades (sju experimentella och två observationsstudier). Sex studier visade helt eller delvis sänkt kortisolnivå. En experimentell samt två observationsstudier visade inte signifikant lägre kortisolnivåer. Delvis förbättrat humör och kognitiv förmåga sågs i studierna. Slutsats: Sänkta kortisolnivåer vid yogautövande sågs. Dock fanns studier som inte visade minskade kortisolnivåer och studierna har brister som sänker bevisstyrkan. Bättre studier behövs för att kunna fastställa ett samband.Background: Stress and stress-related mental illness is increasing in our society and it is important to find options to slow down the development. Stress is a normal physical condition but for a long time without recovery stress can lead to mental illness. Yoga studies have shown a stress-reducing effect on mood and yoga has become a popular option to reduce perceived stress symptoms. Therefore it can be interesting to study underlying mechanisms for perceived stress reduction. The hormone cortisol increases during stress. Perhaps yoga has a stress-reducing effect through decreasing the hormone. Aims: The aim of the study is to exam whether perceived stress reduction in yoga practice is related to lowered cortisol levels in healthy adults. Methods: A systematic literature study was carried out on articles published in 2009-2018. The articles were searched in PubMed and Web of Science. Results: Nine studies were reviewed (seven experimental and two observations studies). Six studies showed complete or partial reduction of cortisol levels. An experimental and two observation studies did not show significantly lower cortisol levels. Partially improved mood and cognitive ability were seen. Conclusions: Decreased cortisol levels in yoga practice were observed. However, there were studies that did not show decreased cortisol levels and the studies have shortcomings that lower the strength of evidence. Better studies are needed to establish a relationship.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is grounded in my praxis as a Hatha yoga teacher in the community. I noticed that particular students were drawn to specific styles of Hatha yoga, whilst avoiding others. I took the styles of Hatha yoga into consideration, but further exploration also gave rise to whether methods of instruction were a fundamental component of the class demography. This in turn led to an examination of my own teaching pedagogy to explore how my philosophical approach to teaching, was in fact, carried over into to my praxis and if this was a factor in student retention in my classes. Studying my own pedagogy as a Hatha yoga teacher meant reviewing my philosophies, both from a theoretical perspective and later from a practical level, to see if my practice followed my philosophy. This could only be realised through a full investigation of my teaching methods, which was achieved by video taping one of my Hatha yoga classes. I believe that understanding originates from personal knowledge; therefore, the research must begin by examining my own pedagogy. In order to answer these questions I have investigated the historical foundations of yoga and the meaning of yoga in the modern Western world. During this process I became aware of the misrepresentations of Hatha yoga and the misconceptions that have derived from this. In order to answer my research question, whether my teaching pedagogy directly influenced the cohort of students who attended my yoga class, I have had to be cognisant of my own pedagogy. In order to achieve this I employed heuristic enquiry and more specifically the methods outline by Clark Moustakas (1990). Heuristic epistemology is achieved by creating phases in which the researcher uses her own experience to investigate and create meaning in which to discover a phenomenon. This method of enquiry offers the researcher non-linear steps with which to structure the process of a personal reflection. Explication of the pedagogy resulted from numerous viewings of the video recording. I reviewed my teaching methods to ascertain if what I said and thought I was doing was what I actually taught.

Full textAbstract:
Tidigare forskning visar på de olika effekter som yoga tycks ha för barns välmående, men det har varit ont om undersökningar som visar pedagogers upplever avseende yogans effekt i arbetet med barn. Vårt syfte med studien var därför att undersöka pedagogers upplevelser av att arbeta med yoga och barn i förskoleålder. Genom kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med pedagoger har studiens resultat vuxit fram och analyserats utifrån en fenomenologisk teori. Fenomenologin används sedan för att koppla studiens resultat till de begrepp vi använder oss av för att förstå pedagogernas livsvärldar. Slutsatsen visar att yoga påverkar både det enskilda barnet och barngruppen och att barn för att orka med sin vardag behöver få tid till lugn och ro. Genom att använda yoga som arbetsmedel utvecklar pedagogerna barnens självuppfattning samtidigt som barnens både fysiska och psykiska funktioner utvecklas. Barnens relationer både till sig själva och till andra utvecklas med hjälp av ett prestationsfritt förhållningssätt där pedagogerna medvetet arbetar för att hjälpa barnen att känna ett lugn och att kunna fokusera.

Full textAbstract:
La investigación apunta a describir el Bienestar Psicológico (Ryff, 1989) en
un grupo de 31 hombres y mujeres adultos practicantes de yoga. Se utiliza La
Escala de Bienestar Psicológico, que ha sido adaptada y validada en nuestro
medio (Cubas, 2003). A fin de enriquecer el alcance de los análisis, se utiliza un
grupo de contraste (n=31), apareado (Kerlinger, 2002) en términos de sexo, y
edad.
El diseño de la investigación es No-experimental, transversal y de tipo
descriptivo ya que medirá variables en determinadas personas en un momento
dado (Hernández, Fernández & Baptista, 2006).
La motivación hacia el estudio parte de la creciente cantidad de personas
que practican yoga (Schmidt, 2004) y del interés por una disciplina que integre el
bienestar físico, mental y espiritual.
A nivel teórico, se ubica al concepto multidimensional de Bienestar
Psicológico dentro de la perspectiva eudaimónica, término que alude a los
sentimientos que acompañan la conducta que es consistente con el verdadero
potencial del sujeto (Ryff, 1989; Ryff & Keyes, 1995; Ryff & Singer, 2006; Ryan &
Deci, 2001). Se definen las dimensiones del constructo de Bienestar Psicológico:
Autonomía, Relación con Otros, Manejo del Ambiente, Crecimiento Personal,
Sentido de Vida y Autoaceptación. Éstas surgen de planteamientos teóricos
humanistas sobre la salud y la felicidad (Rogers, 1993, 1997; Maslow, 1968;
Allport, 1995) incluyendo una perspectiva del desarrollo (Erikson, 1980).
Por otro lado, se delimita la práctica del yoga, clarificando las técnicas que
se utilizan tales como las posturas, el control de la respiración, la meditación y la
relajación. Se mencionan sus efectos beneficiosos a nivel físico, fisiológico y
psicológico. Se citan investigaciones anteriores (Lee 2004; Dxon-Peters, 2007;
Netz & Lidor, 2003) que sugieren características psicológicas positivas asociadas
a la práctica.
A partir de la revisión teórica, la investigadora realiza enlaces entre la
filosofía del yoga y el constructo de Bienestar Psicológico.
En ese sentido, el problema y la pregunta de investigación apuntan a
describir el Bienestar Psicológico en practicantes de yoga y comparar los
resultados con las medidas de un grupo de contraste. A nivel específico, se trazan
objetivos que se dirigen a describir el Bienestar Psicológico de los practicantes de
yoga subdivididos en grupos según su tiempo de práctica, su edad y sexo.
Se concluye que los practicantes de yoga de la investigación tienen un nivel
de Bienestar Psicológico significativamente mayor al de las personas en el grupo
de contraste. Asimismo, se observan diferencias significativas en algunas
subescalas al comparar los subgrupos, divididos según el tiempo de práctica.
Finalmente, se plantean recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
Stress är en alarmreaktion som uppstår när individen hamnar i en situation som innehåller nya eller oväntade stimuli. Det blir skadligt för individen då kroppen inte får tillräckligt med återhämtning och stressen blir långvarig. Utmattningssyndrom träder in då individen ignorerat kroppens signaler tillräckligt länge. Medicinsk yoga är en typ av komplementärmedicin och inriktar sig på hela människan, vilket är effektivt på individer som upplever stress och utmattningssyndrom. Det är en relativt nyutvecklad form av yoga men blir allt vanligare inom hälso- och sjukvården. Sjuksköterskor ska kunna tillfredsställa individens specifika omvårdnadsbehov och medicinsk yoga kan hjälpa sjuksköterskor med detta. Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av medicinsk yoga som behandling för patienter som drabbats av stress och utmattningssyndrom. Metoden som tillämpades var en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Metoden ansågs lämplig då ämnet berörde olika aspekter av mänsklig erfarenhet. Sex intervjuer genomfördes med sjuksköterskor som var instruktörer/terapeuter i medicinsk yoga. Intervjuerna transkriberades och därefter genomfördes en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Medicinsk yoga gav patienterna bättre kroppskännedom och kroppsmedvetenhet. Den medförde även att stress lindrades. Dock kunde starka känslor uppträda under ett yogapass, till exempel sorg. Känslorna uppfattades som negativa för stunden, däremot var det positivt för framtiden eftersom en bearbetning skedde. Hur snabbt effekterna uppträdde var individuellt, men regelbundenhet av utövandet var att föredra. Dock måste evidensen öka ännu mer, detta för att medicinsk yoga ska bli mer accepterat inom hälso- och sjukvården. Medicinsk yoga gav patienterna främst positiva effekter men även en del negativa. För att bibehålla effekterna krävs regelbundenhet av utövandet. Den medicinska yogans effekter måste även uppmärksammas mer inom hälso- och sjukvården.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka uppfattningar sex elever, som regelbundet praktiserat yoga, har om yogans betydelse för stress, koncentration och lärande. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ undersökning av djupgående intervjuer och på forskningsrapporter. Syftet var, att med intervjuerna som grund, ta reda på om yogan har någon effekt på stress, och om den kan skapa bättre förutsättningar för koncentration och för lärande. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultatet på att eleverna uppfattar att yogapraktiken givit dem ett instrument att hantera stress. De kunde uppfatta ett gynnsamt samband mellan yogapraktik och skolarbete. Yoga som ett komplement i specialundervisningen skulle sålunda kunna vara en enkel och lättillgänglig metod för att minska den stress som påverkar inlärning och koncentration i negativ riktning. Skolans uppgift måste vara att se till att elever får tillgång till de verktyg som behövs för hälsa, välbefinnande och stresshantering för att kunna klara av sina studier på bästa sätt efter egna förutsättningar.The aim with the study was to examine if praciticing yoga could be helpful in stressful situations for students. The study is based on relevant literature and research, plus on quality survey of in- depth interviews with students who had practiced yoga for at least six months on a regulare basis. The interviews were intendes to find out if the students had found yoga to have any inpact on their ability to handle stress, and thus improve their ability to concentrate and to learn. To sum up, the result shows that the students thought that the practice of yoga had given them an instrument to handle stress, and thereby experienced a positive cinnection between yoga and schoolwork. Thus, the conclusion could be that yoga can be a simple and easy to access complement in special education in order to decrease the stress that negatively influences learning, concentration and motivation.

Full textAbstract:
In dieser Studie werde ich die Kundalini Yoga Lehrergemeinschaft in Berlin als meine Fallstudie nehmen, um zu untersuchen, inwieweit kulturelle Hybridität in diesem Yoga-Strom gestaltet wird. Ich werde beschreiben, wie die betreffende Community Sikh-Elemente in ihren Unterricht einbezieht und gleichzeitig das westliche Publikum anspricht, indem sie
Kundalini Yoga an den lokalen Kontext anpasst. Ich werde auch mitnehmen welche Rolle Konsumismus bei der Gestaltung der Gemeinschaftskultur spielt, wobei die entstandene hybride Kultur aus einer Mischung östlicher und westlicher Elemente besteht. Diese Dissertation konzentriert sich auf die Frage, wie Kundalini Yoga in Berlin (oder besser gesagt seine Lehrer) eine hybride Kultur schafft, in der Yoga für eine Praxis geeignet ist, die in der dominierenden kapitalistischen Kultur in Berlin akzeptabel ist (z. B. Yoga auf Fitness und Stress reduzieren), während gleichzeitig neue Elemente und Bedeutungen in diese dominante Kultur eingefügt werden, die zur Bildung einer lokalen KundaliniYoga-Kultur beitragen, die durch die Funktionsweise des Konsums vorangetrieben wird. Ziel dieser Forschung ist es, einen Beitrag zur Erforschung der (kulturellen) Hybridisierung angesichts der Globalisierung zu leisten. Darüber hinaus wird meine Arbeit zur Erforschung des Yoga beitragen und meine Arbeit wird die Hybridisierung neu konzipieren, indem ich die Rolle des Konsums bei der Hybridisierung lokaler Kulturen untersuche.In this thesis, I will take the Kundalini Yoga teacher community in Berlin as my case study in order to investigate the extent to which cultural hybridity is present in this yoga stream. I will discuss how the community in question incorporates Sikh elements in their classes, while also catering to their western audience by adapting Kundalini Yoga to fit the local context. Also, I will look at the role consumerism plays in shaping a community culture that consists of a mix of eastern and western elements. This thesis focusses on the question of how does Kundalini Yoga in Berlin (or rather its teachers) create a hybrid culture where yoga is appropriated to a practice that is acceptable in the dominant capitalist culture in Berlin (e.g. reducing yoga to a fitness and stress- reduction practice), while also inserting into that dominant culture new elements and meanings, contributing to the formation of a local Kundalini Yoga culture, propelled by the workings of consumerism? The objective of this research is to contribute to the body of research on (cultural) hybridization in the face of globalization. Furthermore, my work will contribute to the body of research on yoga and my work will re-conceptualize hybridization by looking at the role consumerism plays in the hybridization of local cultures.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses specifically on yoga clothing to explore the wardrobes of individuals who practice yoga within Northern Europe. This study explores yoga as an embodied practice connected to dress, uncovering the relationship between clothing and the body based on online ethnographic research. Wardrobe studies were carried out remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic producing a new approach to the field through remote wardrobe studies. The theoretical perspective of Erving Goffman analyses the participants and their wardrobes through the lens of dramaturgy. This perspective allows for the investigation into the behaviour of individuals practising online and in- person yoga classes compared to yoga at home. Viewing social life as a theatre performance to explore individual’s wardrobes and yoga clothing is a vital component of the study. The research demonstrates how individuals in a society constantly perform and how a wardrobe is an object that also performs. The findings suggest that yoga clothing, the body, and the wardrobe are intrinsically connected, providing rich information contributing to fashion studies.

Yoga is increasingly recommended for the K-12 population as a health intervention, a Physical Education activity, and for fun. What constitutes Yoga however, what is taught, and how it is taught, is variable. The purpose of this study was to survey Youth Yoga curriculums to identify content, teaching strategies, and assessments; dimensions of wellness addressed; whether national Health and Physical Education (HPE) standards were met; strategies to manage implementation fidelity; and shared constructs between Yoga and educational psychology. Methods: A descriptive qualitative design included a preliminary survey (n = 206) and interview (n = 1), questionnaires for curriculum developers (n = 9) and teachers (n = 5), interviews of developers and teachers (n = 3), lesson observations (n= 3), and a review of curriculum manuals. Results: Yoga content was adapted from elements associated with the Yoga Sutras but mostly from modern texts, interpretations, and personal experiences. Curriculums were not consistently mapped, nor elements defined. Non-Yoga content included games, music, and storytelling, which were used to teach Yoga postures and improve concentration, balance, and meta-cognitive skills. Yoga games were noncompetitive and similar to PE games. Teaching strategies included guided inquiry and dialoguing. Assessments were underutilized and misunderstood. Lessons were created to engage students across multiple dimensions of wellness; cultivate self awareness, attention, and concentration; and teach relaxation skills. Spiritual wellness was addressed using relaxation, self-awareness, partner work, and examining emotional states. Developers adapted curriculums to meet HPE standards when needed. Yoga was considered appropriate across all developmental stages and could be adapted to meet specific needs. Developers tended not to manage fidelity; strict control was perceived as contrary to Yoga philosophy. Curriculum manuals were resources, not scripts. Continuing education included workshops, videos, and online forums. Emerging themes included attention, awareness, meta-cognition, and self-regulation as learning objectives; dialoguing as a teaching strategy; and the influence of mindfulness and positive psychology on curriculum design. These suggest additional areas of research. Curriculums need codification, defining, and mapping of elements including the alignment of teaching strategies with assessments. The benefits of Yoga, beyond the physical postures, need further study.

Full textAbstract:
Yoga classes are an increasingly popular trend in early childhood education and care services. The purpose of this research is to examine how yoga classes are included in the programs of long day care centres, and how links are drawn between the components of yoga classes, and yogic strategies, and the curriculum framework Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, and mandated requirements that guide all service providers (and staff and educators in children’s services) to provide an environment that supports children’s growth across all developmental domains. Until recent years, yoga was not considered a suitable activity for environments such as schools and children’s services. In general, only adults attended yoga classes held in specified yoga venues. However, those who study the life skills that are advocated in yoga philosophy agree that yoga is a way of living that supports a healthy lifestyle. According to the National Quality Standard guide, the early childhood curriculum and daily programs should provide children with strategies that will lead to a healthy adulthood.
This research project explores the links between the content of the yoga classes in relation to the Early Years Learning Framework and the provision of programs that scaffold children’s levels of development. This research project examines the question: What happens when yoga is included in long day care programs?
Sub questions:
l How many long day care services in the Gold Coast offer yoga?
1 How does yoga fit with the legislated ECEC curriculum frameworks?
1 What matters to educators and parents about including yoga in the long day care programs?
Case study research methodology is used to examine how yoga is included in long day care services. Part One of the research project uses surveys to scope the early childhood education and care long-day care centres that include yoga classes in their service delivery. Part Two uses interviews to examine the perceptions of early childhood educators and yoga teachers about yoga in the early education and care programs.
On the surface, yoga classes are valued as part of the curriculum for services that include yoga in the weekly program. Early childhood services encapsulate a social culture of their own, that includes the beliefs and values of the staff and the families using the services.
This social culture needs to be considered when planning and implementing pedagogical strategies in the daily program. However, this project found that there is a paucity of research about the pedagogy of yoga in early childhood services. This project pinpoints the need to examine the use of extracurricular classes, including yoga, as part of the delivery of programs in early childhood services. Additionally, there is a need for research about how practising yoga can support early childhood development and provide strategies for continued health and well-being through a socio-cultural lens.
This research project concludes that there is no empirical evidence to confirm that yogic practices or extra-curricular yoga classes in early childhood increase the potential for health and well-being in adulthood. Recommendations for early education and care long-day care centres are three-fold. Firstly, it is necessary to collaborate with all stakeholders including children about the opportunities to participate in yoga classes. Secondly, we must examine the content activities of the yoga classes and practices and how they fit with the aspirations and expectations of parents and children. Finally, the third step is to assure a match between what the curriculum requires for children’s development and the content activities in the yoga classes. This has particular relevance to the professional knowledge of educators and yoga teachers. These recommendations are important considerations in the decision-making about the inclusion (or not) of yoga classes in the delivery of the curriculum of long day care services.Thesis (Masters)

Full textAbstract:
I dagens samhälle är det troligen ingen som har undgått termen yoga. Yoga finns på nästintill vartenda gym och termen dyker även upp i olika hälsotidningar från stund till stund. Benämningar så som Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, meditation, asana, andningskontroll och cakra förekommer i alla olika kombinationer. Ibland i sådan mångfald att man som läsare inte uppfattar någon skillnad på vad innebörden av dessa termer är, och det hela framstås som ett enda stort virrvarr. Uppsatsens kommer att lyfta fram två yogaformer, av den mångfald som existerar, nämligen Klassisk Yoga och Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Ett argument varför detta är ett intressant fält att beskåda, är av den anledning som nämndes ovan, nämligen mångfalden som ter sig att bli rörig. Ett andra argument är att olika yogaformer oftast får tendensen i populärvetenskap och tidningar att blandas ihop med varandra, vilket resulterar i att de olika egenskaperna som kännetecknar yogatraditionerna blir otydliga. Det är alltså, i min mening, viktigt att särskilja de olika typer av yoga som finns och belysa vad de olika yogatraditionerna har som utmärkande karaktär utifrån ett historisktperspektiv.

Full textAbstract:
Même s’il existe un engouement récent de l’étude des bénéfices du yoga dans la littérature scientifique occidentale, les données concernant les effets de la respiration yoga (RY) sur les performances psychophysiques en particulier la sensation respiratoire chez l’homme sain et l’asthmatique et la puissance développée lors de l’exercice aérobie sont totalement absentes. Nous avons mesuré chez des sujets sains et chez des asthmatiques l’effet d’un entraînement à la respiration yoga type « ujjai » (ERY), caractérisée par une respiration lente (2,5. Min-1) entrecoupée d’apnées, sur le gain de la sensibilité respiratoire mesurée par des méthodes psychométriques (quantification subjective de charges inspiratoires résistives externes). Puis, nous avons recherché les conséquences de l’« ujjai », ou d’une combinaison de deux autres types de respiration yoga (« bhastrika » et « uddiyana bandha », sollicitant le diaphragme et dénommée « diaforce ») sur la puissance aérobie et la fréquence cardiaque lors d’un effort sur cycloergomètre maintenu à 70% de la fréquence cardiaque (FC) maximum. Après deux mois d’ERY chez les sujets sains et quatre semaines chez les asthmatiques, on mesure une amélioration sélective de la sensation respiratoire : l’exposant n de la loi de Stevens ( = k. n) qui mesure la sensation versus la pression buccale, a été significativement augmenté. Chez les asthmatiques, cet effet s’accompagne d’une diminution des résistances des voies aériennes 3,26 + 0,31 à 2,6 + 0,32 cmH2O. L-1s et chez les sujets sains, il s’associe à une diminution de la fréquence respiratoire de 19,6 2. Min-1 à 13,6 3. Min-1, traduisant l’existence de modifications durables du régime ventilatoire. Lors de l’épreuve d’exercice aérobie, et après un mois ERY, la puissance a augmenté de 17% et la diminution de FC au cours de la première minute de récupération s’est accentuée. Ces résultats s’accompagnent d’une réduction de la baisse de la saturation en oxygène de l’hémoglobine (SaO2) durant la respiration « ujjai » et d’une augmentation de 15% de la pression inspiratoire maximale (PIMax) après une semaine de « diaforce ». Aucune modification n’est constatée chez les groupes contrôles non entraînés par ERY. Ces données démontrent que l’ERY augmente sélectivement la sensation respiratoire, induit des modifications persistantes du régime respiratoire, et améliore les capacités à l’exercice, accroissant la force contractile du diaphragme et favorisant le paiement de la dette d’oxygène. Ces techniques respiratoires inspirées du yoga pourraient être intégrées dans l’éducation thérapeutique des patients insuffisants respiratoires et pourraient être utiles pour améliorer les performances sportives sans avoir recours à des agents dopantsDespite recent interest for the benefits of yoga practice in the occidental scientific literature data on the effects of yoga respiration on psychophysical performances, namely respiratory sensation, and the cardiorespiratory response to exercise are totally absent in healthy humans and obviously in asthmatic patients. In healthy subjects and asthmatic patients we searched for the long-term effects of training period to “ujjai" yoga respiration (YRT), characterized by a very slow breathing pattern (2. 5 /min) with inspiratory and expiratory apnoeas, on their spontaneous ventilatory pattern and sensation of added inspiratory loads, comparing the changes in respiratory sensation in controls to their sensations to detect tactile and auditory stimuli. In other healthy subjects trained to sport endurance we studied the effects of “ujjai” or other yoga respirations (“bhastrika” and “uddiyana bandha”, also called “diaforce” because enhancing the participation of diaphragm in respiratory movements) on aerobic power and heart rate (HR) changes during and after constant-work-rate cycling exercise sustained at 70% of maximal HR. After a 2-month period of YRT in controls and only a 4-week YRT session in asthmatics, we measured a selective significant increase in respiratory sensation, the n exponent of the = k. n Stevens’s power law, which plots respiratory sensation versus mouth pressure. In healthy subjects, the mechanism of improved respiratory sensation may be the persistent slowing of their spontaneous breathing pattern (respiratory frequency decreased from 19. 6 + 2 to 13. 6 + 3 /min) whereas, in asthmatics, the significant reduction of airway resistance (3. 26 + 0. 31 to 2. 60 + 0. 32 cmH2O. L-1s ) could explain their enhanced respiratory sensation. After a 1-month YRT period in healthy subjects, we measured a significant 17% increase in exercise power and also a significant post-exercise HR decrease assessing of an improved recovery of heart rate function. In the same individuals trained to “diaforce” we also measured a significant attenuation of hypoxemia during YRT sessions and significant increase in maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax). During the same periods, no significant variations in ventilatory pattern, respiratory sensation, response to exercise and PImax were noted in control groups of subjects (healthy or asthmatics) untrained to yoga respiration. The present data show that YRT markedly improves both respiratory sensation and cardiorespiratory response to exercise. Yoga respiration training could be included in rehabilitation programs in patients suffering from chronic respiratory or cardiac diseases and could help sportsmen to improve their performances in place of the use of doping agents

Our dissertation main objective is to provide a critical view about the practice of mantras in the context of Purna Yoga (or Full Yoga), launching under the Sciences of Religions an ethnographical look over one of the main spiritual heritage of India, which continue to be part important Sadhana of several lines and branches of Yoga, thus seeking to understand these sounds, effects and their meanings. To have a general understanding of the Mantras we will discuss in the first chapter some of these sacred phonemes that are considered important for the tradition of Yoga. The mantras selected were: The OM mantra, the Gayatri Mantra, Mantra Hare Krishna (The Vaishnava Maha-Mantra). These are considered universal mantras that are practiced in various traditions, including the specific tradition on which we had observed the Purna Yoga or Full Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. In the second chapter we deepen concepts of Full Yoga and present elements of field research, through our travel experience by the ashrams of India, which experienced important practices of Yoga mantras linked to this. In the third chapter we present the results of interviews with leading masters and teachers of Full Yoga in different parts of India as well as Brazilian masters and instructors. In addition we also present a description of all the spiritual atmosphere of the visited ashrans through a participatory research in which the researcher, maintaining an academic look, experience the field through its praxis. We strive through our field research to observe exactly how these mantras are being practiced today in the context of full Yoga.
Nossa dissertação tem como objetivo geral proporcionar uma visão crítica sobre a prática dos mantras no contexto do Purna Yoga (ou Yoga Integral), lançando no âmbito das Ciências das Religiões um olhar etnográfico sobre uma das principais heranças espirituais da Índia, que continuam a ser parte importante do Sadhana de diversas linhas e ramos do Yoga, buscando assim compreender estas sonoridades, efeitos e seus significados. Para termos uma compreensão geral sobre os Mantras abordaremos no primeiro capítulo alguns desses fonemas sagrados que são considerados importantes para a tradição do Yoga, haja vista sua grande frequência e utilização. Os mantras selecionados foram: O mantra OM, o Gayatri Mantra, o Mantra Hare Krsna (Maha Mantra Vaishnava). Estes são considerados mantras universais que são praticados em várias tradições, inclusive a tradição específica sobre a qual nos debruçaremos, o Purna Yoga ou Yoga Integral de Sri Aurobindo. No segundo capítulo aprofundamos conceitos sobre o Yoga Integral e apresentamos elementos da pesquisa de campo, através de nossa experiência de viagem pelos ashrams da Índia, onde vivenciamos importantes praticas de mantras vinculados a este Yoga. No terceiro capítulo, apresentamos o resultado das entrevistas com os principais mestres e professores do Yoga Integral em diversas regiões da Índia bem como mestres e instrutores brasileiros. Além disso, também apresentamos uma descrição de toda a atmosfera espiritual dos ashrans visitados, através de uma pesquisa participante na qual o pesquisador, mantendo um olhar acadêmico, experiência o campo através de sua práxis. Buscamos através de nossa pesquisa de campo observar justamente como estes mantras vêm sendo praticados na atualidade no contexto do Yoga Integral.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om yoga i skolan. Studien syftar till att undersöka pedagogers och barns upplevelser och uppfattningar om användandet av yoga, och genom detta tillföra kunskap om användandet av yoga i skola och förskola. Studien har fokuserat på förklaringar till varför man väljer att använda yoga i skolan. För att ta reda på barns och pedagogers upplevelse av yoga har intervjuer använts. Resultat från intervjuerna har sammanfattats och ordnats efter studiens frågeställningar. När frågeställningarna har behandlats har tre olika teoretiska utgångspunkter använts: ett fenomenografiskt perspektiv, ett salutogent perspektiv som utgår från hälsofrämjande faktorer, och Foucaults maktperspektiv. Dessa perspektiv har använts för analys och vidare diskussion av resultatet. Resultatet visar att användandet av yoga i skolan kan förklaras med koppling till pedagogers intentioner. De teoretiska perspektiven har bidragit med ett fokus på barnens och pedagogens personliga tolkningar av, och syften med, att använda yoga. Pedagoger har beskrivit hälsofrämjande syften med användning av yoga, så som att det minskar stress och skapar lugn i klassrummet. Barnen har beskrivit sätt att använda yoga för att slappna av i olika situationer. Tankar och upplevelser om hälsofrämjande arbete genom yoga har genom de teoretiska perspektiven i studien bidragit med en syn på yoga som en salutogen metod för hälsa. De teoretiska perspektiven har också lyft en diskussion kring hur vi genom samhälleliga strukturer påverkas att göra vissa val, och hur detta kan synas i arbetet med hälsa i skolan.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to document and analyze the presence of yoga in school in the city of Värmland region, Sweden. To this day, there is a lack of emperic studies of yoga in schools and therefore, it is interesting to find out how yoga will be usefull in schools. The chosen method for this study was to observe and find out how students and teachers practice yoga in a secular contexts during school lessons. The critical part of using yoga in schools is about the background from yoga, and how yoga can be connected with religious and Hinduism spirituality. The results from this study show that yoga in school is more like an activity with a series of movements with focus on wellness and with the possibility to refresh the body and brain during a school lesson, and this without any connections of religious contexts at all.
