NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Are you at risk for dowager's hump? Findings from a small study suggest you may want to try yoga to decrease this age-related curve of the upper spine.
Among a group of elderly study participants, those who did yoga for six months saw their upper spine curve lowered by about 5 percent compared to those who...]]></description>

            Americans         annually spend more than $3.5 billion on prescription sleep         medications. Though pills may be tempting if you're one of the 56         percent of insomnia sufferers, Michael Breus, a clinical psychologist         and the author of Beauty Sleep,         says there are plenty of natural methods         to try first:

What Science Can Teach Us about Flexibility
If you're already practicing yoga, you don't need exercise scientists and physiologists to convince you of the benefits of stretching. Instead, you'd probably like them to tell you if there's anything in their flexibility research that can help you go deeper in your asanas. For example, when you fold into a forward bend and are brought up short by the tightness in the backs of your legs, can science tell you what's going on? And can that...]]></description>

            Healthy ambition requires us not to push ourselves so hard that we are incapable of having a balanced life, but not to take it too easy, either. This seems like a fine line, and in fact, in yoga practice it's often referred to as "the edge." It's the place where you're working at the top of your body's ability on that day. If you worked any less, you'd...]]></description>

By Alan Mozes, HealthDay Reporter
  
  
THURSDAY, Jan. 29 (HealthDay News) -- Zen meditation appears to reduce sensitivity to moderate pain when practiced by well-trained individuals, Canadian researchers report.
  "Previous studies had already shown that teaching patients with chronic pain to meditate seemed to help them, but no one had examined how these effects might come about," said study author Joshua A. Grant, a researcher in the department of physiology at...]]></description>

Most people aren't naturally flexible, so doing yoga can increase your flexibility almost immediately. Even after just a few classes, you will begin to notice a change in your body. Yoga is a “come as you are” affair - it has wonderful benefits for, disabled people, elderly yoga people, and inflexible people.&#160; It can also help you gain strength, coordination, increased concentration, physical confidence, and...]]></description>
