Zusammenfassung:Reflections and conclusions presented in this book are based on empirical qualitative research. Principles applied in this study coincide with the qualitative sociology model (see Introduction to Konecki, Chomczy?ski 2012), elucidating that both explaining and understanding of social phenomena constitute the underpinnings of qualitative sociology.<br><br>Research over the yoga practice - that took place from 2007 to 2011 - started with a participant observation conducted in a yoga studio located in a voivodeship's capital, where the researcher took yoga classes at least once a week. The researcher also conducted four observations of an out-of-town yoga workshop. One of them took place in 2008, when the researcher participated in a one week time stay in the mountains, where yoga was practiced in seclusion for approximately 7 hours a day. The workshop at hand also included meditation and mantra singing.
