STUDY SHOWS YOGA IMPROVES SELF-CONTROL AND LOWERS STRESS

Not sure if yoga really helps? Can't seem to get the benefits of yoga? Please read

key findings from a  study conducted by the Niroga Institute are below. 

I studied at the Institute and completed Niroga's Corp Training Program (a special course for certified yoga teachers to learn how to address the needs of at-risk populations).  I currently teach at juvenile detention centers and group homes for girls in Connecticut. I am continually amazed to see how yoga brings relaxation and peace to those who often need it the most. 

"Using two psychometric tools for evaluation, PSS10 (a 10-point Perceived Stress Scale) and Niroga’s  IHS30 (30-point Integral Health Scale), statistically significant decline in stress (and anxiety and  depression) and improvement in self-awareness (and self-control, self-esteem, and subjective  happiness) have been noted within only 3 months into the year-long program. The results echo  similar effects observed by several Centers of Integrative Medicine nationwide, studying the effects  of Yoga and Meditation on stress in cancer patients, people with addiction, and patients with early-  onset HIV. Niroga’s Healing Yoga protocol is extending integral health practices to include a wide  range of vulnerable and marginalized populations.
