All of these articles (and studies!) say the same thing: that somehow yoga is a magically beneficial for of exercisehttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/893346610075156480 …

The premise is that it's "Eastern" and "ancient", and that this somehow confers a whole heap of health benefitshttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/893347041304231938 …

It's classic bullshit. Yoga is no better (or worse) for you than any other form of light exercise
All of these ridiculous articles about yoga are based on studies that are either a) fucking tiny or b) don't prove yoga is better

Hell, most of them don't even COMPARE yoga to other exercise. Many of them don't even have a control group!https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/893347577743032320 …

So what does the literature say? There are quite a few Cochrane reviews looking at yoga. Here's one: http://www.cochrane.org/CD010671/BACK_yoga-treatment-chronic-non-specific-low-back-pain …
In essence, they are all the same. Yoga does have health benefits, but they are precisely what you'd expect from people exercising

Note: this holds true for lots of other kinds of exercise, like pilates and bikram yoga. It's all the same shithttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/893348080241696769 …
