Regular yoga practice actually changes gene expression, German study finds

29/5/2013

Yoga continues to become an interest in the scientific world.  As a regular asana practice begins to work its way into the daily routine of more and more people, more scientists want to study and test its positive effects on the body.  A new study published out of Germany in the online journal PLOS ONE, aimed to find out more than just whether or not yoga is beneficial, but also how exactly a regular yoga practice affects the body.  The study took 10 participants and observed them over the course of one week at a yoga retreat. Before and after practicing yoga for two hours a day, the gene expression of each of the participants was measured through a blood test.  They found that yoga, above other leisure activities such as walking or listening to music, created a rapid change in many more genes in the immune system – 111 for yoga versus 38 for other activities.  A full summary of the study can be found here:

There you have it, yet more scientific proof that regular yoga positively affects the body and mind in a multitude of ways!
