Sažetak
AIM: The aim of this study was to get insight into: factors that have contributed to incidence of eating disorders, reasons for joining the program of yoga and contribution of yoga as a complementary therapy method to the quality of life. METHOD: The method of focus group and qualitative analysis was used to structure the data. RESULTS: The findings indicated the following factors that have contributed to incidence of eating disorders: negative role models in the family, high expectations of family members and the environment, personal need to over control, meeting social demands and dissatisfaction with personal imperfections. Reasons for joining the program and expectations were: the need for appeasement, pushing the boundaries, greater level of self-confidence and opening up to people and the world. The findings indicated a positive contribution of yoga program to the quality of life, especially in areas related to the body image, physical and emotional well-being and encouragement of positive attitude towards self and environment. CONCLUSION: The findings suggested the need for conducting further research that would provide better insight into the mechanisms of coping with the causes and symptoms of eating disorders, as well as the development of future guidelines in order to define appropriate therapeutic methods and support positive somato-emotional experience.
