Studies assess effectiveness of yoga's stress management tips in veterans.
While the experience of combat can have a wide range of negative effects on war veterans, yoga may provide effective stress management tips for these individuals. Researchers from the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds are conducting several studies to investigate this concept.
"Military people don't want to be seen as victims, they're so brave," said scientist Emma Seppala, as quoted by WLUK-TV. "They're not always open to therapy because they hate the victim status, so we want to give them practices to empower them with tools they can use to help themselves."
A pilot study examined the effects of a yoga breathing technique on soldiers. Such practices may prove helpful for those who have post-traumatic stress disorder, which includes symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness and hyper-vigilance, Seppala told the news source. Her team hopes to conduct larger studies that include a neuroimaging component as well as comparisons between yogic breathing and meditation.
People who take yoga classes may reap several benefits. Reportedly, yoga can improve strength, flexibility, heart rate, blood pressure, lung capacity, mood and overall physical fitness, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health.
