Is yoga heart-healthy? Science suggests, “It's no stretch to see benefits”
Check out this article discussing Yoga’s benefits on heart health including some of the following:
Yoga helps to reduce cholesterol by stretching and massaging the abdominal organs, enabling them to perform their purposes more efficiently to reduce LDL cholesterol.
Mindfulness, relaxation, and deep breathing lower the blood pressure and reduce stress and anxiety.
