A) Yoga has been found to improve wellness and prevent disorders such as depression. The gentle nature of the exercises allows its use by people in almost any condition. Those who practice yoga on a regular basis report improved life satisfaction, alertness, enthusiasm, and mental and physical energy, all of which are the opposite of the symptoms of depression. Yoga does not specifically increase blood flow to the brain. Yoga does not stimulate the production of serotonin. Short periods of aerobic exercise or longer periods of anaerobic exercise over a period of weeks will raise the level of endorphins, which enhance the feeling of well-being.
