Abstract in brief

  • Yoga has significant mental and physical health benefits, including reduced anxiety and improved cognitive performance, but the underlying brain structural changes remain unclear.
  • The review of 15 studies indicates that yoga practices like breathing, meditation, and postures can increase brain wave activity, gray matter, and activation in areas like the amygdala and frontal cortex.
  • These findings suggest yoga could serve as a beneficial treatment for both clinical and healthy aging populations, though further research is needed to explore how specific types of yoga impact different groups.]
