Abstract
The paper deals with the possibilities and signifikance of the use of yoga in the field of musician's health. The introduction describes the state of research, both from the perspective of Western medicine - music physiology, and from the perspective of the East - yoga.
Piano performing arts are widely spread among artistic, philosophical, medical and psychological disciplines. The absence of a method of prevention, which would not be limited only to the physical condition of musicians, but to the complex personality of the performer (student), highlights the complexity with which yoga affects all the disciplines mentioned.
From the point of view of a pianist, piano teacher and yoga teacher, the contribution brings new possibilities for grasping this, often neglected, issue. As a starting point for planned qualitative research.
