Is Yoga a Science ?
eBook [ePub]
Résumé
Yoga promises flexibility, calm, balance and sometimes even healing. But what remains of these promises when they are tested through clinical trials, neuroscience and evidence-based medicine ?
Is Yoga a Science ? distinguishes yoga’s philosophical heritage, its modern adaptations and what research can genuinely establish. This concise and documented book examines its effects on chronic pain, stress, anxiety, depression, mobility, balance and quality of life. It also explains why findings are sometimes difficult to interpret : diverse practices, small samples, expectation effects, differences between programs and imperfect comparisons.
Without idealizing or dismissing yoga, the book shows that it is not a science in the strict sense. It can nevertheless be studied scientifically and may become a useful adjunct when it is adapted to individual needs, taught responsibly and integrated into appropriate care.
Discover an accessible guide for distinguishing plausible benefits from exaggerated claims and for approaching yoga with greater discernment.
