The Pensive Reader by Marie Cassatt

by Nina

Because the topic of brain health came up this week (see Being Fit Significantly Reduces Risk of Alzehimer’s), with exercise once again being shown to be extremely beneficial for brain health, I thought it would be a good idea to share the chapter from Yoga for Healthy Aging: A Guide to Lifelong Well-Being on brain health with you today. Yes, this is entire entire chapter!

Email Subscribers: If you’re receiving this post via email, to read the chapter, click on the title of this post, which will take you to the blog itself where you can use the PDF reader to view the chapter.

This chapter not only gives background information about how yoga can foster brain and nervous system health and which are the best ways to practice yoga for brain health, but it includes a brain health sequence at the end. I hope you find it useful.
