Enhanced brain function through Yoga

[Hopeful Indian]

Hi, just to let you know about this:

"A range of mental and physical benefits are reported in these studies, including reduced levels of stress (reduced cortisol—the "stress" hormone), improved immune system, relief from anxiety & depression (mild, moderate & severe), and increased antioxidant protection, enhanced brain function (increased mental focus, calmness and recovery from stressful stimuli), among other findings."

Thanks for posting this HI.

I read this and it seems excellent. For a POISer and someone in our condition is sound really about bringing some wellbeing.

I think that there is an AOL group in many bigger cities. Before you join, I suggest you do your own research on the positives and potential drawbacks of any group. I joined a similar group local group (different name), when in worst of POIS, but having been there for some time, started to realise the level of control and hierarchy in the group and some additonal aims they had, as they built trust. I promptly exited stage left.

Not saying this group is similar, just worth looking into it.
