Outside-the-box designs:
Using qualitative approaches in yoga research
This workshop will challenge traditional research methodologies used in yoga research by incorporating creative approaches to address complex or unique research questions. This will be an interactive workshop where participants would have the opportunity to imagine ‘outside-the-box’ research methodologies and push the boundaries for knowledge creation designs on yoga and wellbeing. This workshop is underpinned by the principles of Participatory Action Research, encouraging collaboration between researchers and participants for co-creating knowledge and innovative ‘lived expertise’ practices for wellbeing.
