| description | Yoga is a spiritual, mental, and physical discipline-based activity practiced thousands of years ago and originated in India. Yoga is a science-rich unique holistic approach focusing on mind and body harmony. Exercise neuroscientists and physiologists long acknowledged the health benefits of physical postures, meditation and breathing exercises. However, recent research has demonstrated that breathing and meditation practices also provide active attentional benefits. Scientific evidence-based research on yoga creates interest among the research fraternity. This article highlights the current understanding of yoga asanas and their documented positive impacts on body fat percentage. The author reviewed more than 13 studies and articles about the effects of yogic asanas practice on body fat percentage. All the studies reveal the positive impact of yogic asanas (physical posture) on the different elements of body composition. The studies offer promising evidence that yogic asanas practice may hold promise to mitigate body fat percentage along with other body composition elements. |
