Fitness Swellness: Yoga for better brain function

June 11, 2013

Yoga, more so than aerobic workouts, will improve your brain function says a new study published in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health.

The study participants were assessed at baseline, after a treadmill workout and after 20 minutes of hatha yoga. Post-run and baseline cognitive assessments didn’t differ much, however, after yoga, the subjects’ cognitive abilities improved. The researchers speculate the calming and self-awareness of a yoga practice may translate positively to your regular life activities.

So, who’s in for Om T.O. and the Lole White Session next week?
