Abstract

EFFECTS OF YOGA ON MENTAL HEALTH. The literature is piling up on the effects of yoga on health in the three most studied areas: on the brain, stress and anxio-depressive symptoms. Following the "evidence-based practice" approach, studies highlight the positive effects of yoga practice at these different levels in a variety of adult populations. It also involves identifying the modalities of yoga practice (type, duration and frequency of session, etc.) commonly used in these studies, and ultimately benefiting from scientific evidence of their effect on health that can be used for interventions in the f ield.

EFFETS DU YOGA SUR LA SANTÉ MENTALE. Les données de la littérature s’accumulent sur les effets du yoga sur la santé dans les trois domaines les plus étudiés : sur le cerveau, le stress et les symptômes anxiodépressifs. Suivant l’« evidence-based practice », pratique médicale fondée sur les preuves scientifiques, des études mettent en avant des effets positifs de la pratique du yoga auprès de populations adultes variées. Il s’agit également d’identifier les modalités de pratique de yoga (type, durée et fréquence de séance, etc.) couramment utilisées dans ces études, bénéficiant de preuves scientifiques de leur effet sur la santé pouvant servir pour des interventions sur le terrain.

Keywords: Yoga.
