Researchers conducted a study to assess yogaโs therapeutic potential for women diagnosed with spinal conditions such as herniation, scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis. Recognizing yogaโs growing popularity and its holistic approach to wellness, the study sought to fill a gap in qualitative research by examining participantsโ lived experiences. Using a phenomenological design, the researchers interviewed 15 women who had practiced yoga for at least three months, focusing on their motivations, perceived changes, and awareness of their conditions.
The results revealed that yoga offered multidimensional benefits: participants reported reduced pain, improved posture and flexibility, enhanced mobility, and greater emotional balance. Mental outcomes included better stress management, increased self-awareness, and a deeper sense of self-compassion. Many participants also noted a heightened understanding of their spinal conditions and a reduced reliance on medication. These findings suggest that yoga serves not only as a physical intervention but also as a psychological support tool, promoting active engagement in healing and improved quality of life.
Going forward, the study advocates for yogaโs inclusion as a complementary therapy in spinal disorder treatment plans, especially when tailored to individual needs and guided by qualified instructors. While the small sample size and lack of controlled interventions limit generalizability, the results underscore yogaโs potential to foster sustainable improvements in both physical and mental health. Future research should expand on these findings with larger, more diverse populations and long-term evaluations
