Neuroprotective effects of yoga practice: age-, experience-, and frequency-dependent plasticity

Neuroprotective effects of yoga practice: age-, experience-, and frequency-dependent plasticity

Yoga combines postures, breathing, and meditation. Despite reported health benefits, yoga’s effects on the brain has received little study. We used magnetic resonance imaging to compare age-related gray matter (GM) decline in yogis and controls. We also examined the effect of increasing yoga experi...
