The yoga curriculum for the use of yoga in the classroom had been previously studied with nursing students and permission was obtained for its use in this study. The course content consists of 1.5 hours/per week (theoretical: 30 minutes; practical: 60 minutes) Each yoga session includes 5 minutes of breathing (pranayama) and warming up, 40 minutes of postures (asanas), 5 minutes of breathing (pranayama), 5 minutes of corpse pose (shavasana).In addition, to develop mindfulness, after the class, students were offered daily practices that enable a mindfulness-based approach to life events.
