Abstract:
This report summarizes the current evidence on the effects of yoga interventions on various components of physical and physiological health, by focusing on the evidence described in specified articles. The purpose of this article is to review this research systematically and determine if regular yoga training improves certain physical and physiological variables. Collectively, these reviews suggest many areas where yoga may be beneficial, but more research is required for virtually all of them to establish such benefits. The variety of the circumstances and therapies under study has made meta-analysis a less useful tool for compiling the body of recent research. Nevertheless, some meta-analyses indicate the beneficial effects of yoga interventions, and there are several randomized clinical trials (RCT’s) of relatively high quality indicating the beneficial effects of yoga for physical and physiological health. Yoga may be effective as a supportive adjunct to mitigate some medical conditions, but not yet a proven stand-alone, curative treatment. It is highly recommended that larger, more thorough studies with better methodological quality and sufficient control interventions be conducted because yoga may be a helpful, supportive, and reasonably priced adjunct treatment. It can also be practiced as a kind of self-care behavioral treatment. It gives practitioners a lifelong behavioral skill that improves self-efficacy and self-confidence and is frequently linked to other positive side effects.
