Yoga to Improve Energy and Circulation

Advertisement

Yoga has been extensively studied for its potential to alleviate fatigue across various conditions, including individuals with cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and those experiencing general fatigue. A growing body of research indicates that yoga can positively influence various risk factors associated with heart disease, including blood pressure, lipid profiles, stress levels, and autonomic nervous system balance.
Yoga’s multifaceted approach—combining āsana (movement), controlled prānāyāma (breathing), and dhyāna (meditation)—may alleviate fatigue through several mechanisms:
• Stress Reduction: Yoga can lower cortisol levels, reducing stress and its associated fatigue.
•. Improved Sleep Quality: Regular yoga practice has been linked to better sleep, which can combat fatigue.
•. Enhanced Autonomic Function: Yoga may improve heart rate variability, indicating better autonomic nervous system balance.
•. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Yoga has been associated with reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are linked to fatigue.
