What is the science behing Yoga? (ref: India)?


Question:
It just looks like some slow breathing and some slowmotion streaching. or squatting.

Though everyone says its very good.

Answers:
well there are statistical studies that show correlation between doing yoga and increased mobility and wellness among older people. As far as the exact science behind why this correlation exists- I think this is still a source of debate. I would say it probaby has to do with increasing blood and oxygen flow to parts of the body, as well as probably helping the stimulate communication among the neural passageways in the body, much in the same way accupuncture does.

Other Answers:
Looking does not tell the story. Only doing it will tell the story. It changes your body's responses. You learn how your body is constructed. It opens joints, connective tissue. You must do it not just watch it. You learn breathing. It's what happens inside you that is important. It's not about doing certain postures. It's about being in the moment and feeling what's in your body. Getting connected with your body changes everything, including your brain waves. Yoga really works.

you got it, it test your flexiblity and helps you relax I actually just finished yoag :) i like it because its so relaxing and it really stretches your muscles. it alllows you to enter a state of mind where nothing else seems to matter for those minutes and all you can think about is the way your body bends and moves. quite realxinggg actually :)


I remeber a story I once read about a man that had been stabbed in the abdomen.and he was able to "slow down" his breathing..and slow down the bleeding.until help got to him.so YOGA that he learned .helped saved his life.Yoga is to teach you to relax and meditate.to help release stress from your everyday life..


Hi darling. Yoga has no a scientific base yet, but It has an experimental results.

God bless you.

Your using a mind and body connection. Each pose moves you in a position in which you are releasing a certian tension or pressure point. The breathe helps you get deeper into a pose and also helps you stay focused.
It is a nice very low impact way to get in shape. I have lost after baby weight and yoga each time has toned me perfectly. I do admit it feels so good that I don't feel I am doing anything workout wise.but my body shows that I am doing alot!!
