Yet another reason to love Yoga

As I was recently reading the latest issue of Chatelaine magazine, I came across an interesting article in their fitness section:

The Path to Happiness

"For centuries, yogis have believed that the route to inner peace begins on a yoga mat - and now science backs them up. Boston University researchers investigated the effects of lyengar yoga (a low intensity, stability-enhancing practice) on the brain and found that three 60-minute classes per week can help treat depression. The study, which used MRI scans, is the first to show that yoga spikes the brain's production of gamma-amino butyric acid,
A natural antidepressant linked to better moods and less anxiety."

Feel happy!

Thanks Chatelaine :)
