Abstract

This research paper examines the feasibility of yoga practice among working women in India. Typically, Indian women, including those employed, undertake domestic tasks. However, in metropolitan cities such as Bengaluru, New Delhi, Mumbai and Pune, women increasingly prioritize their careers and personal development over household chores. Consequently, these working women often struggle to find time for daily yoga practice due to the demands of balancing personal, familial and professional responsibilities. Despite a growing awareness of health and wellness, many women need help incorporating yoga and pranayama into their busy schedules. Some organisations have started offering yoga and pranayama sessions during working hours to promote physical and mental well-being among employees. Apart from these women experiencing health issues such as fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are more likely to engage in yoga practices regularly. This study focuses on working women in India and employs descriptive and explorative methods, utilising secondary data to provide insights into the current scenario in India.
