Why is it important?
Nowadays, yoga is widely endorsed as a way of staying fit and healthy, as well as in helping to alleviate the effects of many chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery diseases, and others.
Perspectives
Clinical trials on yoga-based lifestyle modification programs have shown promising results in terms of their anti-inflammatory and anti-stress effects. These findings support the notion that long-term, regular practice of yoga-meditation might modulate human neuroendocrine systems and positively influence physiological parameters, like body mass index and blood pressure. Yoga-meditation has also been associated with improvements in emotion regulation.
