Yoga and meditation improve brain function


Practicing yoga and mindfulness meditation can boost the brain's executive functions, cognitive abilities linked to goal-directed behavior and the ability to control emotional responses, habitual thinking patterns and actions.

Yoga and mindfulness meditation focus on the brain's conscious processing power on a limited number of targets like breathing and posing, and also reduce processing of non essential information.

Mindfulness meditation and yoga were both effective for improving energy levels, physical exercise like yoga releases endorphins, increased blood flow to the brain, and reduced focus on ruminative thoughts. Yoga improves flexibility and strengthen the body.

It involves physical postures and breathing exercises combined with meditation. Mindfulness mediation involves observing thoughts, emotions and body sensations.
