Work-related stress is a significant socio-economic problem and is widely discussed in developed countries today. Health care professionals are among the professionals who experience a high level of stress. It is because of long workdays, high case loads, working under time pressure, high expectations from others and a low tolerance to error. According to the American Psychological Association, yoga is one of the activities helping manage work-related stress. This classic Eastern approach seems to be very useful in dealing with our modern Western problem. There are many papers on the role of yoga in stress management, but only few studies exploring the effect of yoga on stress among health care professionals. We would like to present the results of our single arm pilot study at Military Hospital in Olomouc. They could serve as a basis for a larger randomized control trial among health care professionals in the Czech Republic.
