New Study Shows Surprising Benefits Of Yoga To Deal With Anxiety And Stress

Curated by YDN Admin

Yoga, an ancient practice and meditation, has become increasingly popular in today’s busy society. For many people, yoga provides a retreat from their chaotic and busy lives.

In this Forbes article, by Bryan Robinson, Ph.D. he includes information that a new study at New York University Grossman School of Medicine builds a science to suggest that the popular, available and inexpensive practice of yoga may be helpful to treat anxiety in adults. And with regular practice, it possibly can help reduce work woes.

According to the lead researcher, Dr. Naomi Simon, professor in the Department of Psychiatry at New York University’s Langone Health, “Our findings demonstrate that yoga, which is safe and widely available, can improve symptoms for some people with this disorder and could be a valuable tool in an overall treatment plan.”
