A new study shows that yoga and meditation improved computing skills, and hope to use this research to assist disabled people
Providence,, USA - - October 16, 2014 /PressCable/ —
For anyone in need of yet another incentive to try out yoga,here’s a big one: a new study conducted at the University of Minnesota showed that participants with a regular yoga and meditation practice learned three times faster than those who did not practice yoga. Not only this—they were also more likely to finish the trials successfully. The conclusion: practice of one type allowed participants to slide right into a different type of practice.
Moreover, by studying the brain’s activity, lead researcherBin He said, “This comprehensive study shows for the first time that looking closer at the brain side may provide a valuable tool for reducing obstacles for brain-computer interface success.” He hopes to use this success to aid people who rely on their mind to operate devices like wheelchairs and artificial limbs.
While this study is great news for science, it’s also great news for all practitioners of yoga. A core tenet of most yoga practices is that there is power in breathing, and that this power connects directly to the brain. What yogis do on their mats translates to success outside the studio,and now there’s even more proof.
When people practice yoga, they are training their brains and muscle memories. Each sun salutation, every repeated movement, reminds the yogi what her body is capable of while teaching the mind how to repeat and refine the action next time around. Yogis breathe into their action and build stronger bodies and mind at every juncture. This translates seamlessly into the rest of their lives, as this study, along with countless others, has proven.
