Here is another article I found on Oprah’s website that talks about many of the health benefits of a regular yoga practice, including:

-Significant help for depression and anxiety

-Reducing heart disease, and stroke

-Recovery from Breast Cancer

-Decrease in symptoms of menopause 

-Healing Chronic back pain.

Check out the article or recomend it to a friend or someone you know who may be dealing with any of these or other illnesses or problems.

-Among some of the reason he gives are:

-Body awarness

-Range of motion

-Energy efficiency

-improving VO2 Max
