According to a recent study, by the American Council on Exercise, stated that yoga researchers found that the regular practice of Hatha yoga significantly improved the subjects' flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and balance. In addition, WebMD suggests yoga for weight loss, to improve heart rate and help back issues. Finally, Dr. Timothy McCall in his book, Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing, states that yoga can reduce stress, increase flexibility, improve balance, promote strength, heighten cardiovascular conditioning, lower blood pressure, reduce weight, strengthen bones, prevent injuries, lift mood, improve immune function... and that's only a partial list.
