The usual delusion about yoga is that it’s just another type of exercise. Maybe it’s because people often see yogis stretching and doing pretzel-like poses. However, the reality is that the advantages of yoga are more encompassing than just the physical. Thanks to modern technology and MRI scans, now we can see how yoga affects your brain.
Besides keeping your body healthy, it also increases your brainpower. If you are not an individual who enjoys running or serious physical training, perhaps yoga classes are your answer. Working on brief yoga sessions and meditation can significantly improve brain function and energy levels. Even though this training is effortless, it can substantially enhance your cognitive performance short and long term.
A bonus in yoga is your constant use and practice of control in your breathing, posture, and mental activity, resulting in increased gray matter density and activation in your hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Doing this enables you to have better focus and concentration and make you more in tune with your senses and be self-aware. It affects decision-making as well as being better at evaluating rewards and consequences and makes you more willing to delay gratification.
