Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of persons with allergic respiratory symptoms who practice yoga as a self-healing modality. Fifteen participants were interviewed. Using the content analysis method, 5 themes emerged from the data: perceived positive effects, powerful and harmonious inner energy, mindfulness and self-awareness, understanding self and others, and promoting and achieving a state of balance and harmony. These findings foster the value of knowing the experience of persons who practice yoga as an intervention in holistic nursing.
