Boost your brain power with 20 minutes of yoga

28/8/2013

1 Comment

 
Having trouble focusing on a task you absolutely must finish?  Or feel like you’ve been forgetful lately?  Roll out your yoga mat for a quick yoga session that includes asanas, meditation and breathing, and you may find the solution to your problems! 

Another recent study of yoga and its effects on the brain, conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the USA, published its findings in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health recently.  This study concluded that after a 20 minute yoga session that included deep breathing and meditation, test subjects performed much better on cognitive tests than after a 20 minute aerobic session.  See the press release of the study here.

We definitely agree with the results of the study, as yoga is so much more than a physical practice.  The physical aspect is a way to prepare the body for the long periods of meditation required in an overall yoga practice.  The concentration needed during the asanas, and the focus on the breath during meditation focuses your mind and reduces the importance of all outside thoughts and stressors.  As such, it makes sense that your focus would be improved after only a 20 minute session.  Imagine the effects of a long term practice!  Yoga has long been recommended for improvement in focus and memory, we’re glad to see scientific results to back it up.
