  • Research Presentation on Bhakti Yoga: Analysis of Wellness Among Yoga Practitioners in Japan,2024/08

    Presented the below yoga research to Uel Yoga Studio yoga instructors and its yoga students in Japan, to yoga practitioners in India, Germany, Russia, and to yoga monks at the Munger Raj Mandir Temple in Vrindavan, India.

    Yoga has increasingly gained popularity around the world as an alternative form of exercise with a range of physical and mental benefits. However, often only the physical practice of yoga is focused on, omitting or only touching the surface of yoga philosophy as a whole, thereby limiting the full benefits of yoga. Through the lens of grounded theory, the aim of this study is to gain insight on the effects that a dual physical and philosophical approach to yoga may have on individuals' wellbeing and overall health. Through the analysis several themes were observed but one in particular stood out as substantial: a combined physical and philosophical practice influences feelings of gratitude and humility. The study's findings suggest that, a complete yoga practice has the potential to unlock greater physical and mental benefits, and open the door for further feelings of wellbeing.
