There has been a study posted that practicing yoga "boost brain function in older adults."  Awesome news!  Of course we knew this from experience.  The study followed people ages 55 - 79.  Some practiced yoga 3 times per week.  The others did a program of stretching and toning.  Those that participated in yoga had "significant improvements in work memory capacity."  These folks where also able to do tasks without being distracted.  Those folks that participated in the program of stretching and toning did not have these changes!
So keep up the great work!
Please let me know how your yoga practice has helped you with your memory and general every day activities.
