INTRODUÇÃO: É necessário aprofundar os conhecimentos na área de Gerontologia Social sobre viver mais e desenvolver as soluções para que o idoso permaneça o maior tempo possível com a melhor qualidade de vida possível. OBJETIVO: Verificar os contributos da prática de Ioga na Qualidade de Vida dos idosos; AMOSTRA: Para o efeito a amostra final foi composta por 40 idosos de ambos os sexos, com idades entre os 55 e os 80 anos, não institucionalizados, residentes em diferentes municípios do distrito de Faro, dividida por 2 grupos: praticantes de Ioga e não praticantes (grupo controlo). MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, descritivo e correlacional; recorreu-se a um Questionário sociodemográfico, Questionário de qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-BREF), Questionário Escala de Depressão Geriátrica de Yesavage, Questionário internacional de atividade física (versão curta). Todos os instrumentos foram validados para a língua portuguesa. O tratamento estatístico dos dados foi levado a cabo através do programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) versão 28. RESULTADOS: Os resultados do presente trabalho não permitem encontrar diferença significativa entre praticantes de ioga e não praticantes, mas independentemente de experiência prévia na prática do Ioga, para os participantes do presente estudo, viver com Qualidade de Vida satisfatória significa estar saudável, fisicamente ativo, ser autónomo, mas ter um bom suporte social, ter oportunidade para participar ativamente na vida social e manter o bem-estar psicológico. CONCLUSÃO: Todos os participantes do presente estudo reconhecem que o Ioga pode ajudar durante o processo de envelhecimento, no entanto, para se conseguir avaliar a evolução das mudanças adquiridas através da prática do Ioga, será necessário realizar o estudo de maior dimensão, com metodologia diferente e amostra maior, mais uniforme e com participantes com idade mais avançada.

All instruments were validated for the Portuguese language. The statistical treatment of the data was carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28. RESULTS: The results of the present work do not allow us to find a significant difference between yoga practitioners and non yoga practitioners, however , regardless of previous experience in the practice of Yoga for the participants in the present study, living with a satisfactory Quality of Life means being healthy, physically active, being autonomous, but having good social support, having the opportunity to actively participate in social life and maintain psychological well being. CONCLUSION: All participants in the present study recognize that Yoga can help during the aging process, however, to be able to evaluate the evolution of changes acquired through the practice of Yoga, a larger study will be needed, with a different methodology and a larger sample, more uniform and with older participants.
