Yoga, a great stressbuster, says expert

Machilipatnam, July 27: Yoga is not only a useful stressbuster but also provides relief from chronic diseases, Indian Muscular Dystrophy Association President R Janardhan today said.

Talking to UNI here, Dr Rao said saints considered their bodies to be a laboratory and focused on the spinal cord.

The exercise was codified as 'Hatayoga.' He exhorted the people to protect the treasure trove of yogic knowledge to benefit future generations.

Even in the West, several people were taking up yoga.

Dr Rao appealed to the government to take up a research project in the area to lend a scientific touch to this stream of knowledge.
