How Yoga Helps the Brain

Abstract

Most people think about yoga in terms of its physical benefits, such as increased strength and flexibility, but yoga can also lead to positive changes in the brain. If you are in school, yoga may help you reduce stress and improve your attention—both in and out of the classroom. One of the best things about yoga is that it requires no equipment, so you can do it anywhere. Practicing yoga can help both your brain and body feel better.
