Yoga Research: Health benefits of yoga

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Today’s research share is “What are the health benefits of yoga?” published by Medical News Today.

This short article provides an overview of general physical and mental health benefits associated with yoga, offering numerous links to further research and resources throughout. It provides an extensive list of references along with outlining the site’s research criteria (click on “Sources” below the article to expand).

A lot of the benefits mentioned in this article are familiar to those who have tried yoga. I could talk to you all day about my own experiences practicing and benefiting from yoga, but this piece takes things a step further by providing research-based references to support these claims about the benefits of yoga. Find the full article online here.

Happy reading, yogis!

Namaste and blessings,

Tara
