What 8 weeks of yoga can do to your body! ā¬‡ļø

A 2021 Randomized Controlled Trial looked at yogaā€™s effects on mitochondrial function.

Just 8 weeks of yoga (5x a week) that included:
šŸ§ asanas (poses)
šŸŒ¬ļø pranayama (breathwork)
šŸ§˜ and dhyana (meditation)
improved mitochondrial health.

Since mitochondria are the powerhouse of your cells, boosting their health can mean:
šŸ”‹ More energy
šŸ¦  Better immunity
šŸƒ Improved exercise performance and recovery
(which tends to decline with age)

Thereā€™s more!
Yoga is well known to positively alter genetic expression.
In this study, yoga seemed to improve DNA repair and turn down pro-inflammatory gene activity.

It seems even gentle yoga could support your mitochondrial health and measurably reduce inflammation.
