    Yoga eases depression, changes biomarkers of stress

    Research finds that regular yoga practice may curb symptoms of depression and alter important stress-related biomarkers. Depression impacts 17 million American adults annually, often contributing to severe impairments in physical and social functioning.

    Could your stress be all in your head?

    Benjamin Franklin once said: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” While he was right about those two, he forgot to add a third to the list: stress. Research shows that how you interpret a given situation may determine whether or not you experience it as being stressful.
