Kundalini Yoga on Self-Objectification among Selected Female Pageant Contenders in Mariveles, Bataan
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Kundalini Yoga on female pageant contenders' self-objectification. Kundalini Yoga is a spiritual and physical practice that combines dynamic movement, breathing techniques, meditation, and chanting to awaken inactive energy believed to be at the base of the spine and channel it upward through the body's energy centers to attain spiritual enlightenment and self-awareness. 15 female pageant contenders aged 17 to 24 from Mariveles, Bataan, actively engaged in the study. Researchers assigned participants to four (4) Kundalini Yoga sessions or a control group, which received a one-time mindfulness webinar. At the post-test, the study observed that women who engaged in yoga sessions exhibited lower self-objectification (p = 0.018, z = -2.366), with a high effect size of 0.89. This study highlights that Kundalini yoga helps reduce self-objectification in female pageant participants, boosting their self-esteem. To improve future research, it is important to include a wider range of participants and age groups for more dependable results on self-objectification interventions. Furthermore, examining various yoga styles and teaching methods is vital for understanding their effects on women's body image. Additionally, considering venue factors such as atmosphere, facilities, and timing is crucial, as they greatly impact the success of interventions.
