越来越多的证据表明，瑜伽可以作为关节炎患者自我护理的一个方面。然而，瑜伽对于来自不同文化，社会经济背景和种族/民族身份的人来说可能不太容易接受。在对瑜伽作为少数民族社区自我保健的可行性/可接受性进行试点研究时，出现了精神问题。这篇评论分享了研究人员和瑜伽老师在这项研究中合作的经验，以及在一名研究参与者退出后进行的更大范围的对话。它试图围绕瑜伽研究作为一种综合健康模式展开相关和必要的对话，以及为什么瑜伽的潜在身心精神方法有时可能成为关节炎患者参与的障碍。
There is growing evidence that yoga can be beneficial as an aspect of self-care for people with arthritis. However, yoga may be less acceptable to those from different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and racial/ethnic identities. While implementing a feasibility/acceptability pilot study of yoga as self-care in minority communities, the subject of spirituality surfaced. This commentary shares the experience of the researchers and yoga teachers collaborating on the study and the larger conversation that ensued following the withdrawal of one of the study participants. It is an attempt to start a relevant and needed dialogue around yoga research as an integrative health modality, and why the underlying body-mind-spirit approach to yoga may some-times serve as a barrier to participation for diverse populations suffering from arthritis.
