Amazing! It's so great when the medical community gets behind the yoga community. I so often find myself defending yoga to naysayers or closed-minded folks who snicker or just think yoga is about being flexible. Thanks so much for giving us this information – I'll be sure to link it on my site.
Useful post. Very informative one. Thanks for providing such information. Yoga is general for every person. It gives good health and peaceful life. It relieves us from stress. I got a good information by visiting this site.
