To understand adolescents' experiences and attitudes toward yoga, with a particular focus on acceptability and feasibility of a yoga intervention for depressed adolescents.
Qualitative analysis of data from three focus groups and eight individual interviews, for a total of 22 teen participants.
Outpatient setting in a psychiatric hospital in the U.S.
Teens were asked about their own and their peers' attitudes toward, and experiences with, hatha yoga; reactions to a study-created yoga video; and opinions on class logistics.
Teens had both positive and negative attitudes toward, and experiences with, hatha yoga. They commented on "who does yoga;" many responses suggested a limited group (e.g., moms; people with money and time). Participants agreed that yoga could be potentially beneficial for depressed or stressed teens. Self-consciousness while being in a yoga class was a major concern. Overall, teens reacted favorably to the study-created yoga video. Teens had varied opinions about class logistics including class duration and size. Teens cited barriers to class, such as transportation, as well as barriers to home yoga practice.
Key points for developing a yoga class that might be appealing to depressed or stressed teens include: creating a class with variety that teens will find interesting; taking concrete steps to decrease teen self-consciousness; incorporating messages relevant for teens and consistent with yoga philosophy; and actively countering stereotypes about who practices yoga. Limitations of this study include the lack of data from male teens.
了解青少年对瑜伽的体验和态度，特别关注瑜伽干预对抑郁青少年的可接受性和可行性。
对来自美国精神病院门诊环境中的 3 个焦点小组和 8 个个体访谈的数据进行定性分析，共 22 名青少年参加者。
美国一家精神病院的门诊环境。
询问青少年自身及其同伴对哈他瑜伽的态度和体验；对研究制作的瑜伽视频的反应；以及对课程后勤的看法。
青少年对哈他瑜伽有积极和消极的态度和体验。他们评论了“谁做瑜伽”；许多反应表明参与者认为做瑜伽的人是有限的群体（例如，妈妈；有时间和金钱的人）。参与者一致认为瑜伽对抑郁或压力大的青少年可能有潜在益处。在瑜伽课上自我意识强是一个主要问题。总的来说，青少年对研究制作的瑜伽视频反应良好。青少年对课程后勤有不同的看法，包括课程时长和规模。青少年提到了上课的障碍，如交通问题，以及在家练习瑜伽的障碍。
开发对抑郁或压力大的青少年有吸引力的瑜伽课程的要点包括：创建一个具有多样性的课程，让青少年感兴趣；采取具体措施减少青少年的自我意识；纳入与青少年相关且符合瑜伽哲学的信息；并积极反驳谁练习瑜伽的刻板印象。这项研究的局限性包括缺乏男性青少年的数据。
