| Abstract: | The literature suggests that all entrepreneurs share certain psychological and cognitive characteristics. Yoga is currently
experiencing a surge in popularity due to both the physical and psychological benefits gained by yogi (practitioners of yoga).
Irrespective of its more philosophical dimension, changes attributable to yoga have been identified in individuals’ psychological
and behavioural patterns. It is in this context that this study analyses the characteristics associated both with entrepreneurs
and yogis, seeking to specifically understand the respective personal attributes or the psychological and cognitive predispositions
of both groups. The results of this study demonstrate that students who do engage in yoga show a propensity towards or strengthening
of the psychological and cognitive attributes that are commonly associated with an entrepreneurial profile. Thus the study
suggests that if entrepreneurial behaviour is a priority, then yoga should be integrated as a compulsory subject into general
education from the primary school onwards. |
