Better Sleep
A Harvard research study found that eight weeks of daily yoga markedly improved sleep quality for people struggling with insomnia.

Stronger Immune System
A recent Norwegian study found that yoga practice results in changes in gene expression that boost immunity at a cellular level – and it happens rapidly. Researchers believe the changes happened while participants were still actively on the yoga mat!

Relief From Migraines
Research shows that migraine sufferers have far fewer and less painful migraines after just three months of yoga practice.
