A new study published in the november 2009 issue of the magazine that pain to the effect of yoga in the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia looks. Patients who have yoga an eight-week period showed more improvement in their Fibromyalgia symptoms than a control group. This is very news on several fronts. As eight weeks is not a very long time in the life of a yoga practice, offers the hope that a more sustainable practice could offer even more benefits. It's also great that Yoga benefits be taken seriously by the medical community and that this study could inspire more research. Finally, the yoga program followed by the study participants included not only basic poses, but a significant amount of meditation, breathing exercises, techniques for the management of pain and group discussions. This extension of Yoga outside the asanas seems to hold great promise for many people who suffer from painful diseases and has not been studied much in the past.
