Yoga is a 5000 year old science that originated in India. Medical experts have found that--if practiced regularly-people will improve health problems including high blood pressure, weight, respiration and heart functions, stress, and back pain. There is evidence to suggest that Yoga has helped diabetics lower their blood glucose levels and some asthmatics have been able to lower their medication doses with medical supervision. Others who've practiced Yoga regularly says it has helped them with stress, concentration, spirituality, mental issues, and understanding their unique mind-body connection.
Yoga is regularly used to help Post Traumatic Stress, including with Veterans returning from war.
An estimated 13.4 million Americans practice yoga at least two times per week.
