This study was designed to investigate yoga teachers' and yoga therapists' perceptions of the ways yoga is applied to treat symptoms of psychological distress, and identify the defining features, main components, and mechanisms of change in therapeutic practice.
A qualitative design was employed. Six yoga teachers who had specific training and experience in teaching therapeutic yoga or practicing 'yoga therapy' took part in one-to-one interviews during which they gave accounts of their experiences of helping people cope with psychological distress through yoga. Participants' interviews were transcribed verbatim and were analysed using an integrative inductive-deductive thematic analysis.
Four key themes were identified in relation to the benefits of therapeutic yoga: Awareness, Choice, Relationships, and Tailoring.
The findings support previous research which suggests that individualised yoga therapy is a promising intervention, and may help to form a theoretical rationale for the future treatment of psychological distress with yoga.
本研究旨在调查瑜伽教师和瑜伽治疗师对瑜伽应用于治疗心理困扰症状的方式的看法，并确定治疗实践中的定义特征、主要组成部分和变化机制。
采用定性设计。六名瑜伽教师具有教授治疗性瑜伽或进行“瑜伽疗法”的特定培训和经验，他们在一对一的访谈中讲述了通过瑜伽帮助人们应对心理困扰的经验。参与者的访谈被逐字转录，并使用综合归纳演绎主题分析进行分析。
与治疗性瑜伽的益处相关，确定了四个关键主题：意识、选择、关系和量身定制。
研究结果支持了先前的研究，表明个体化的瑜伽疗法是一种很有前途的干预措施，并且可能有助于为未来用瑜伽治疗心理困扰形成理论基础。
