Abstract

Objective: To understand the meaning of yoga practice for patients in a Psychiatric Inpatient
Unit of a General Hospital.
Method: A qualitative research, with the theoretical-philosophical framework of Maurice
Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. Fifteen patients from a Psychiatric Inpatient Unit in the
city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, participated in the study. Data was collected
through interviews in the second half of 2017, and analyzed using phenomenological analysis.
Results: The phenomenon under study was supported by the following thematic units: emerging
from corporeity; feelings of well-being, lightness, tranquility and peace; improvement in
thinking pattern; breaking of paradigms; improved sleep quality; temporality movement.
Conclusion: The practice of yoga with patients from a Psychiatric Inpatient Unit provided a
better understanding of the concepts and perceptions of this millenary practice by them,
observing in the statements the richness of experiences and positive impacts on their mental
health.
