What if the simple act of doing yoga could heal your diseased heart? 

A new study titled, “Effects of Yoga in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: A Meta-Analysis [3],” reveals that this ancient practice, ever-increasing in popularity in the West, has profound benefits to those who are suffering from cardiovascular disease [4].

Previous to this study, the idea that yoga could heal a diseased heart was considered strictly theoretical, which is what motivated a team of Portuguese researchers to put the concept to the test.

The team performed a meta-analysis of the published research on the topic of how yoga might improve exercise capacity and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure.
