During a reconditioning stay, yoga exercises can have health benefits for ironworks employees who suffer from the risk of hard physical work, noise, heat, dust and vibration. The aim of the work was to find out the satisfaction of the participants of the reconditioning stay during the 7 days of the stay and after the inclusion of yoga exercises among the procedures. Using a non-standard entry and exit questionnaire, with 11 questions closed, 2 open questions, we evaluated the satisfaction during the reconditioning stay of 79 subjects with the health program (passive and active procedures) and yoga against back pain according to the System Yoga in Daily Life ©. 92.21% of subjects rated participation in the reconditioning stay as a benefit. After the reconditioning stay, the back pain was relieved. In the cervical spine the pain intensity changed from 5.1 to 3.3 p < 0.0001, in the thoracic spine from 4.4 to 2.6 p = 0.0063 and in the lumbar spine from 5.2 to 3.0 p < 0, 0001. Of the active procedures, 20.25% would choose yoga exercises against back pain from the System Yoga in Daily Life ©. 72.36% of respondents would prefer relaxation, 27.63% breathing exercises - pranayama and 13.16% exercises - asanas. Yoga exercises according to the System Yoga in Daily Life © are recommended to be included as standard as one of the active procedures within reconditioning stays.
