Yoga, an ancient Indian practice involving mental shift, dietary change, and procedures such as asanas, breathing techniques, and meditation, has seen a spike in research over the last decade, though few studies examine health benefits of yogic practices or transcendental meditations. A Medline review of relevant English-language publications on physiological assessment found that the effects of transcendental meditation and yogic practices are distinct. Data revealed considerable health benefits, including improved cognition, cardiovascular risk, respiration, blood pressure, BMI, and diabetes, as well as boosted immunity and reduced joint pain.
