Yoga

Although yoga is thought to have been practised for over 5,000
years, its myriad benefits for our health and wellbeing are still
being uncovered. Professor Rima Dada from the All India Institute
of Medical Sciences in New Delhi reveals the extraordinary
findings into the benefits of yoga - how half an hour a day can
slow down ageing at a cellular level by protecting your
mitochondria and your DNA. It can also improve your brain health
and even reduce symptoms of depression. Just a few sessions are
enough for our volunteer James to catch the yoga bug!
