Yoga Instructors have perfect Spines on MRI
Yoga provides a healthy spinal structure- MRI proof in European Spine Journal
A group of researchers recruited a two groups of people who had no spinal problems reported at all and divided them into two matched groups. One group were yoga instructors and the other group were people of the same age, gender and other attributes, but they did not do yoga.
The groups both had whole spine MRI scans and the scans were compared.
The results were significant: the yoga instructors had better spinal alignment and healthier appearances to their discs compared with matched controls, proving that engagement in regular yoga results in excellent spinal structure.
