Abstract: Yoga is a holistic practice that combines physical postures, breath control, and meditation to promote physical and mental well-being. Yoga can be learnt by attending classes at a yoga center or through home tutoring. Books, podcasts, and videos can also be used to gain the knowledge. A good deal of people prefer self-learning, but without assistance and feedback, they may find it difficult to identify the inaccurate portions of their yoga poses and could not be able to determine whether they were executed correctly. Poor yoga practice might result in health problems including stroke

Abstract:

Abstract Strategies to prevent and manage frailty are priorities in clinical medicine and public health. Current evidence-based interventions for frailty are multimodal in nature, with physical activity as a key element. Mind-body therapies, especially those that incorporate movement such as yoga and tai chi, include physical postures, breathing practices, meditation, and other elements. In our recent systematic review of 33 randomized controlled trials of yoga interventions in older adults (2384 participants), there was moderate-certainty evidence that yoga improved gait speed and lower extre

Abstract:

Due to their overall health advantages, mind-body interventions (MBIs), including meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and tai chi, have been increasingly embraced in wellness centres. This study methodically goes over the body of current research using actual survey data to assess how well MBIs enhance emotional, physical, and mental health. Combining primary data from a structured survey with secondary sources offers strong analysis of the actual influence of these methods. The results imply that MBIs greatly lower stress, improve cognitive ability, and encourage long-lasting conduct. The report e

To fill this gap, we conducted a mixed methods study using survey data collected at a women’s recovery center in Canada.

In spite of the widespread popularity, to the best of our knowledge, no serious research work has been done in this area, although much scientific research work has been carried out in other Eastern techniques like meditation and yoga.
