Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study evaluated the happiness levels and sleep quality of women practicing yoga. Fifty-four women participated in a 4-week yoga program with 60-minute sessions three times weekly. Data were collected using a Socio-Demographic Form, the Happiness Scale (HS), and the Cumhuriyet Subjective Sleep Quality Scale (CSSQS) before and after the program. Mean HS scores increased significantly from 14.44±3.94 to 17.50±4.28 after yoga (p<0.05). Mean CSSQS scores decreased significantly from 25.07±7.90 to 16.66±9.75, indicating improved sleep quality (p<0.05). Differences were also significant across age, education, marital status, income, employment, and smoking status (p<0.05). These findings suggest that yoga is a promising intervention to improve happiness and sleep quality among women.
