Reddit reviews The Science of Yoga: The Risks and the Rewards

Entretanto aconselho-te este artigo:

How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body

Não para assustar, mas para perceberes a importância de bons professores, bem formados. Na mesma onda, dirigido ao público americano, mas há do mesmo em todo o lado,

Yoga Alliance Is Ruining Yoga

E finalmente se quiseres ler um bom livro:

The Science of Yoga: The Risks and the Rewards

Mais uma vez, isto não é de todo para assustar, mas para informar. Eu gosto bastante de yoga, e recomendo. Dito isto, recomendo também cautela.

This book was recommended on a different thread a while back: http://www.amazon.com/The-Science-Yoga-Risks-Rewards/dp/1451641435

I have been reading it and from what I've gathered, it seems that yoga is not like many general exercises that cause weight loss, but has shown to actually slow down the metabolism.

There is this book here, and I seem to recall that there is quite a list of references at the end of it. I can check when I get home and edit my post.

Let's see. For neuroscience you could start with one of these guys:

You could go with the neuron, or possibly any of the microbes if she's worked with them in her research.

For yoga: she probably already has a nice mat. But if she's into hot yoga or power yoga that can get really sweaty. They make nice microfiber towels for mopping up the sweat, and little bags of rosin to help with the slipping that can happen from that.

If she's a reader there are some interesting books on the science behind yoga and how it affects your brain and body.

I think I'm out of ideas now. Hope this helps!

The topic by a science writer. https://www.amazon.com/Science-Yoga-Risks-Rewards/dp/1451641435

I can definitely relate! Glad you're getting so much out of the practice, yoga is an incredibly transformative tool.
