Yoga for Stress Management in Health Care Personnel

Yoga specially designed to reduce stress is practiced for approximately 30 minutes at least three times a week for three months, once in a group session led by a trained yoga instructor and twice or more at home. The yoga techniques used are physical postures or movements, meditation and breathing exercises. Every time they do the techniques, participants fill in a form detailing how they feel before and after and providing information on the experience of doing the exercises.

The participants rest at home at least 30 minutes, at least three times a week for three months and without using any relaxation technique
