It describes individual changes of the body with a focus on changes in the deep stabilization system. Nowadays, the popularity of yoga is very high, which is great because it has a positive effect on the body itself and the mental state as well.

The theoretical part is devoted into two chapters: importance of breathing while yoga practising and explaination of asana practising. The chapter about the deep stabilizing system (DSS) deals with its general function in the human body. The bachelor thesis also contains the informations about the usage of DSS in physiotherapy. Also the anatomy of individual muscles, pelvis and spine is described. There are also mechanics and physiology of respiration described, for comparison of yoga and physiological breath. Most of the work consists of qualitative research, the aim of which was to find out and describe changes in DSS that take place in individual probands who regularly practice yoga for 3 months at least 3 times a week. The research sample consists of 2 women and 2 men. Probands were examined at the beginning of the 3 months exercise and then at the very end. These tests are finally compared and show the changes in posture or just DSS. The results show that DSS was affected in all 4 probands. In addition, there were other positive changes in their posture, flexibility, stability or muscle strength. All subjects confirm positive changes in their mood after each exercise. Even just the ability to focus on breathing that everyone has gained ensures better activation of DSS, which can be used, for example, as the prevention of vertebrogenic problems. Elements of yoga can be also used by any physiotherapist in their praxis.

East and West and Cognition
Koláček, Luboš
of rigorous work Mgr. Luboš Koláček, Ph. D. The work is a specific approximation of the European author to the thought of the West with the East, based on the thinkers he selected on both sides. It presents a reflection of ontological, epistemological, ethical and psychological, sociological and other questions and answers to the problem, indicated by the name itself. It is a kaleidoscopic thinking that, by multiplying the contents in the reflections of the others and the others in the third thinkers, intertwines and unfolds into a huge breadth of ideas. In the work, intentionality is contained in the appropriate network of connections, which represents the West as thinking of explicit meanings and the East as thinking of implicit meanings. The point is to present to the reader not only ready-made statements, but the reader is invited by questions to cooperate in uncovering the unconcealed, i.e. aletheia. It is a hermeneutic method that starts from ready-made answers and only then comes to the questions that are at the same time the background from which the answer arose. It is a special dialogical method that does not want to juxtapose ready-made judgments, but requires the reader to go through this challenge as a co-solver of the question that is to come to the difference between the West and the...

For my research, I set myself a total of 5 objectives, namely to find out whether pregnant women think yoga has an impact on their fitness during pregnancy and on the course of labour.

East and West and Cognition
Koláček, Luboš ; Hogenová, Anna (advisor) ; Rybák, David (referee) ; Kalábová, Helena (referee)
The work is a philosophical and necessarily also historical-philosophical comparative analysis of mutually corresponding accents of the issue spanning the period from the 8th century BC to the present, with regard to the "axial period" of cultural "miracle" similarly prosperous cultures and philosophies in the relatively severed countries of East and West. It then deals in more detail with some important and fundamental philosophers and spiritual teachers, related scholars or artists of various disciplines, but also lesser-known personalities, based on general inputs into the deepest depths of thought of these thinkers, all in a relatively intuitive connection, because the scope of work does not allow for a more detailed continuous interpretation of such a wide range of issues. In the end, the author emphasizes, philosophically analyzes and evaluates the most pressing issues of contemporary society. The work should primarily show the Way, not lead, but it is up to the reader / researcher to decide how to approach the text. There is always "some" Enlightenment at the end.
