The aim of this research is to examine the work engagement and psychological flexibility levels of university staff who participate in yoga activities. In this study, a random design with the pretest-posttest control group, which is one of the real experimental designs, was used. The sample of the study consisted of 24 female staff working at the university. Data collection tools to be used in the research are Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Psychological Flexibility Scales. The study lasted for 12 weeks. Data were analyzed with the SPSS program, and Wilcoxon and Correlation tests were applied. As a result, there is a significant difference between the participants in the experimental group's Psychological Flexibility pre-test and post-test scores. There was no significant difference between the participants in the experiment groups' Work Engagement pre-test and post-test scores. It can be said that regular yoga practices can have positive effects on psychological flexibility as well as increase work engagement. Longer and more frequent applications are recommended.
