Yoga i skolan : En empirisk undersökning om hur och i vilket syfte yoga praktiseras i en sekulär kontext

The purpose of this study is to document and analyze the presence of yoga in school in the city of Värmland region, Sweden. To this day, there is a lack of emperic studies of yoga in schools and therefore, it is interesting to find out how yoga will be usefull in schools. The chosen method for this study was to observe and find out how students and teachers practice yoga in a secular contexts during school lessons. The critical part of using yoga in schools is about the background from yoga, and how yoga can be connected with religious and Hinduism spirituality. The results from this study show that yoga in school is more like an activity with a series of movements with focus on wellness and with the possibility to refresh the body and brain during a school lesson, and this without any connections of religious contexts at all.
