HATHA NO-BRAINER

It’s known that aerobic exercise has a beneficial effect on the brain, but groundbreaking research* has found that hatha yoga, the slower form of yoga that combines movement with breathwork, enhances brain structures in the same way. When studying hatha yoga practitioners, scientists discovered increases in the volume of the hippocampus, which is involved in memory processing, known to shrink with age and leading to dementia and

Alzheimer's disease. The amygdala, which contributes to emotional regulation, was also found to be larger.
