As always the west has to do its research to believe …but yoga is as old as Hinduism…. mind body and soul

Between the ages of 5 to 9 ish I had to go for physiotherapy twice a week for breathing exercises and sun ray treatment. This was because I always had coughs and was told that I needed to do them for the rest of my life. At around 11, I got into yoga when Richard Littleman had a television series and, as an adult I took it up again in between children, and I'm still doing it twice a week now and I'm 62. I think, no, I know it's helped me, my balance, my breathing, my over all fitness, although I have also always walked everywhere since I've never had a car, and I think that that's helped as well, but yoga's been priceless to me, as has walking, ditch the car and save the planet and yourself!.

Yoga is evil

As a 35 year yoga practitioner, and teacher, i can espouse the positive benefits of a regular yoga practice. I've seen it in myself and my students. I even believe that yoga saved my life. The thing i hate about studies like the ones presented in this series is there is no true way to control the variables. No two of us are the the same. We are a group of 1. It's not possible to know what will be beneficial to any one person. Yoga has stood the test of time for centuries. The postures have been a part of yoga only recently. Yoga is a lifestyle, not an exercise program. When looked at in that way the studies say something very different which I suspect is why you see very different results from the studies based on India. Studies are only minimally, very minimally, helpful as a part of the criteria to begin yoga. Should a doctor recommend yoga to a patient for any condition? It depends, how well does the doctor know the patient's current lifestyle and personality, and how well does he/she know the practitioner they are referring their patient to. If a doctor says include yoga in your life and that patient goes to just any yoga class they may be worse off than they were before they went. Yoga and humans are complex and shouldn't be reduced to individual components that can be assigned choices via an algorithm. We don't work that way, and neither does yoga.

I guess your message is yoga is not enough, you need to eat well, have a positive way of life etc. I would say yoga is not for all, as if you have a chronic illness. But you say there is such a great number of yoga approaches that I would always try it and trust my body to let me know if it right for me now.

You seem to say the studies are not enough (different styles) to say yoga is good for health. In the specific #depression #mood iyou may say there is no studies (which is false) but the experience and testimonials are enough. In case of urinary tract, specially for women, pelvic can be strengthen with yoga bandha practice, i have done it on myself and teach it with great results. Sorry you miss to include in your studies the works of Mel Robin a doctor who has already done the studies presentation in his Handbook for yoga teachers. Arriving to the opposite conclusion of yours in thise last videos.

Super interesting! Thank you <3

As someone who has been doing hatha/mellow style yoga and loving it for almost 20 years (but also isn't into the philosophy side) AND who dislikes/finds unhelpful a bunch of other styles of yoga …. There is SO much difference between one yoga class and the next, trying to study "yoga" is like trying to study "food" the amount of variables is ENORMOUS.

Excellent science communicator

Nice synch, Chef AJ was just talking about this with a urologist on her show yesterday. I didn't even know there were two kinds of incontinence issues until then. They talked about pelvic floor exercises which help so maybe the yoga postures they used are doing the same thing. There is a sock which can help as well that AJ mentioned which stimulates meridians or something and actually did help her. Thanks Doc and staff ❤🥦

Urinary incontinence: do Yoga vs Kegels. In Yoga (as well as Pilates, dance, etc) the pelvic floor must be activated.

I know that it is “anecdotal” instead of empirical evidence but I have felt the benefits of yoga on depression and anxiety. I did it by myself so there was no confounding variable of “socialization”. Sorry Greger, this one is an L.

👍👍 🖖

This series show that western scientists have waged a war against Yoga.

I’m all for stretching, but I didn’t find yoga enjoyable. I did however like the ritual of it all.

The stress incontinence reminds me of one of my Grandpa's favorite jokes-whenever anyone got a cold he recommended they take a laxative. It does nothing to cure the cold but it certainly makes you reluctant to cough or sneeze.
Apologies to all.

I was diagnosed with GAD and MDD a few years ago. A few things that really helped me recover: A simple yoga and breathing routine in the morning. Journaling my emotions. Mindfulness meditation for 10 minutes a day (used the book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels, which I enjoyed because it was simple to follow). Eliminating strong caffeinated drinks (coffee was sparking my anxiety, which would snowball into depressive symptoms). Increasing my exercise time to 40 minutes 3X per week or more. I'm still building my anxiety management routine, but so far this has been a game changers for me. I hope everyone is finding even 10 minutes of relief from anxiety today 🙂 Every minute free of anxiety is something to be grateful for.

So the Stress incontinence study compared Yoga, a practice that involves 3 point breathing thereby stretching the pelvic floor when done correctly, to stretching the arms, legs and back without kegels, a well known therapeutic option for stress incontinence, do I understand that correctly?

Its the third time now you fool put yoga to the test. When do you stop boring people with that?

Probably the only health channel that actually teaches and preaches good science instead of just insisting on one diet or another and citing a study or two.

Yoga has "been put to the test" of time.

I'm getting old and I might take up yoga to prevent or postpone movement disorders such as parkinsonism, tremor, dystonia, myoclonus or ataxia. I already practice tai chi for this.
