Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Kirtan Kriya
We were delighted to see our research study featuring Kirtan Kriya called, “Cognitive and immunological effects of yoga compared to memory training in older women at risk for Alzheimer’s disease” receive attention from wellness industry leaders.
Arnold Schwarzenegger shared the following in his wellness newsletter:
“Another study looked at older individuals who were at risk for cognitive decline. Those who did yoga had less cognitive impairment (compared to those doing memory training) and had lower levels of gray matter and inflammation.
The researchers explained that yoga’s blend of physical movement, controlled breathing, and mindfulness may create a “neuroprotective cocktail.” By lowering stress levels and improving oxygen flow to the brain, yoga appears to boost the brain’s plasticity—its ability to adapt, grow, and improve.
If you want to feel less overwhelmed or mentally foggy — and protect your mind — try a few poses a few times per week. You might just stretch your way to a sharper, calmer mind that can better fight off the decline you experience with aging.”
