Brief summary: Yoga, a form of exercise designed to bring balance and health to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of the individual, will benefit many white-collar workers by using popular technological environments to increase overall physical activity and well-being. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga exercises applied with two different technological access in white-collar employees on musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep quality, stress level, quality of life and work efficiency.

Detailed description: Considering the importance of the workforce and possible health problems in white-collar workers, it seems rational to implement health promotion practices in accordance with the digital age. There is no study in the literature examining the effectiveness of technology-based yoga on selected health outcomes in white-collar workers. Based on this shortcoming, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of yoga exercises applied with two different technological access in white-collar employees on musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep quality, stress level, quality of life and work efficiency.
