term Hatha yoga practice. Master’s thesis. University of Calgary (Canada), 2004.


Abstract: The present study was a phenomenological inquiry exploring the lived experience of a
long-term Hatha yoga practice. The researcher interviewed six individuals, four women and two
men, who had at least five years of experience with Hatha yoga and who were required to
articulate details of how Hatha yoga had impacted their physical, emotional, mental, social, and
spiritual health and development. Using an existential-phenomenological framework that
acknowledges the interconnectedness of person and world, the researcher analyzed each protocol,
extracted significant statements, and clustered themes. The main themes discovered were:
disconnecting, connecting to the flow, new ways of being, growth through connection, a spiritual
practice, and returning to wholeness. The findings were discussed within the context of the
relevant research and theories in kinesiology and applied psychology. Practical implications for
health promotion and counselling, future research directions, and study limitations were
considered.

Richard D. Mann, editor of the SUNY Press Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology Series:
“Accepting relentless impermanence as the ground of human experience, Words from the Soul
derives a spiritual psychology from the mystery and poignancy of time-passage itself. Drawing
from Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Foucault, Dostoyevsky, Buddhism, kundalini yoga,
and twenty-five years of clinical/mediation experience, the author's epigrammatic insights into
our struggles with mortality, gratitude, apology, and forgiveness make this book relevant to
psychotherapy and conflict resolution in a wide range of professional settings.”
