📄 Abstract
Background: Yoga is universally recognized as a potent practice for maintaining physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, yet empirical evaluation of its awareness among specific demographic and professional groups remains limited. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the concept, awareness, and practical involvement in Yoga among working professionals at Zilla Parishad, Solapur. Methods: A descriptive survey was conducted using a non-probability accidental sampling technique. A sample of 166 working professionals (aged 18 to 60 years) participated. Data was collected via a Google Form using the 18-question Yoga Awareness Scale. Results: Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test revealed significant awareness regarding Yoga's benefits for the mind (p = 0.02), internal organs (p = 0.04), and external body (p = 0.05). However, the habit of daily practice (p = 0.12) and consultation with professional yoga therapists (p = 0.40) were statistically non-significant. Conclusion: There is significant awareness regarding the holistic benefits of Yoga among the study population, driven by self-motivation and medical advice, though the active integration of professional consultation remains lacking.
