Because Breathe Together is located in Silicon Valley, and so many of our students and teachers come from medical, engineering, educational, and scientific backgrounds, we felt that it would be important to provide evidence for the common phrase, “Yoga is good for you.” The scientific studies listed below show how yoga, tai chi, and meditation can benefit many health conditions at any age. These are sizable studies, conducted at reputable institutions, and the majority are designed as randomized controlled trials (which is the gold standard for a clinical trial). They are published in respected journals, mostly within the last ten, if not five years. Please feel free to use these articles to educate yourself and share our resources with your friends and family who could benefit from this information.
