Summary/Abstract: This contribution presents the results of a pilot study measuring changes in the levels of static balance and body composition (BMI) brought about by practising the poweryoga programme. The 3-month intervention programme was applied to an experimental group of female students at the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. The test to ascertain the static balance level measured the time for which the subjects were able to stand on one leg without visual control; the BMI data were obtained from the subjects‘ height-to-weight ratios. Although practised for a short-time only, the intervention programme resulted in positive changes in the static balance level (at a low level of significance due to the small number of subjects involved).
