Aim: To
determine self-perceived health status among yoga practitioners and their
perceptions of yoga. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in an
online yoga platform during the month of December 2017. A total of 1602
individuals logged into the website during the data collection period, of which
158 volunteered to participate in the online survey. Data were collected using
a questionnaire that included the participants’ descriptive characteristics (6
questions) and their perceptions of yoga (5 questions), and the Perceived
Health Status Scale. Results: In the study, 92.4% of the yoga
practitioners were females between the ages of 32 and 38; 36.1% had been
practicing yoga for less than 6 months. Purposes for doing yoga were for sport
(39.3%), spiritual development (24.0%), personal development (22.8%), and
meditation (13.9%). The most popular place to practice yoga was a yoga studio
(62.6%). Circumstances that prevented yoga practice were financial limitations
(32.9%), lack of spare time (30.4%), fatigue (19.0%), and yoga not being a
priority (17.7%). The large majority (96.2%) of respondents stated that yoga is
necessary for a healthy life. Perceived physical health was “very good” for
57.0% of the individuals. Mean perceived health score was 1.47±0.32. Perceived
health score was significantly associated with duration of yoga practice
(F=1.53, p<0.05) and perception of yoga as essential for a healthy life
(F=2.81, p<0.05). Conclusion: The majority of yoga practitioners in
our study were well-educated females between 32 and 38 years of age. More than
half of the respondents rated their physical health as “very good”. Longer yoga
practice was associated with greater self-perception of good physical health.


Amaç: Yoga yapan bireylerin sağlık durum algısı ve yogaya ilişkin
görüşlerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı
araştırma, online bir yoga platformunda 01-30 Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında
yürütülmüştür. Evreni veri toplama sürecinde internet sitesine giriş yapan 1602
kişi oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş evrenin tamamına ulaşmak
hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmaya online anketi dolduran 158 gönüllü
katılmıştır.  Veriler, katılımcıların
tanıtıcı özelliklerini (6 soru), yogaya ilişkin görüşlerini (5 soru) içeren
soru formu ve Sağlık Durumunu Algılama Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular:  Yoga yapan bireylerin
%92.4 ü kadın ve 32-38 yaş aralığındadır. Bireylerin %36.1’i 6 aydan az süredir
yoga yapmaktadır. Bireylerin yoga ile ilgili görüşleri incelendiğinde; yoganın
birey için anlamı sırasıyla: spor (%39.3), ruhsal gelişim (%24.0), kişisel
gelişim (%22.8), meditasyon (%13.9) olarak bildirilmiştir. Bireylerin en sık
yoga yaptığı yer yoga stüdyosudur (%62.6). Yoga yapmayı aksatan durumlar;
ekonomik sebepler (%32.9), zaman ayıramamak (%30.4), bedensel yorgunluk
(%19.0), yoganın öncelik olmayışı (%17.7) olarak saptanmıştır. Bireylerin
%96.2’si sağlıklı yaşam için yoganın gerekli olduğunu ifade etmiştir.
Bireylerin %57.0’ı fiziksel sağlığını “çok iyi” olarak algıladığı saptanmıştır.
Sağlığı algılama puan ortalaması 1.47±0.32’dir. Bireylerin yoga yapma süresi
(F=1.53 p<0.05), yogayı sağlıklı yaşam için gerekli bulma (F=2.81 p<0.05)
değişkenleri ile sağlığı algılama puan ortalaması arasında anlamlı bir fark
bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Yoga yapan
bireylerin büyük bir kısmının 32-38 yaş arası, yüksek eğitimli kadınlardan
oluştuğu belirlenmiştir. Bireylerin yarısından fazlasının fiziksel sağlığını
“çok iyi” olarak algıladığı belirlenmiştir. Yoga yapma süresi arttıkça
bireylerin fiziksel sağlık algısının “çok iyi” yönde arttığı gösterilmiştir.
