Abstract
Yoga, the ancient Indian philosophy about body and spirit is more and more present in modern life of the western civilization. Until recently it has been considered as some kind of metaphysical-religious discipline inadequate for the life of a modern man, but lately it is more and more frequently applied in recreation and sport. Simultaneously, there is an increasing number of scientific researches that confirm the principles of yoga in regard to its beneficial influence on the entire psychosomatic status of a man. Yoga could be widely applied in both recreation and sport, but the problem basically lies in educating the personnel that would conduct the programmes. This problem has neither been systematically solved in the Western countries nor in Croatia.
