In a recent study by Kim Innes, a clinical associate professor, and Kundalini Yoga practitioner, Yoga was said to have positive effect on people suffering from health issues like sedentary, overweight, and the risk of type II diabetes. Also, 42 individuals who had not done Yoga for about a year were made to undergo 8-week gentle Iyengar Yoga program, and after the 8 weeks, over 80 % of them mentioned that they experienced a strange calmness in their being and had an improvement in their general body functioning.
“Yoga is open to all” according to Innes. “All the people that took part in our trials, including those who believed yoga is difficult, got remarkable benefits starting from the first session. I’ve seen from experience that no matter how shallow your knowledge about yoga is, a single experience (with an expert yoga therapist around) will hook you to the act.”
