Yoga is said to have a number of benefits.  Whether a person is approaching it as a form of exercise, a type of meditation, or a combination of the two, yoga has documented health benefits in a wide range of applications from cancer to mental health.  We have compiled some sample topic sentences for your thesis:

  1. Yoga can contribute to better heart health by helping reduce stress, reducing inflammation, providing exercise, and leading to potential weight loss.
  2. One of the surprising uses for yoga is in substance abuse recovery, but it combines the exercise needed for stress reduction with the body-centeredness of meditation that many people in recovery find helpful.
  3. Yoga may be the ultimate exercise for seniors because it is low-impact, can be done at a slow pace, can be adapted for people of all fitness levels, and it improves flexibility and balance, which both decline as people age.
  4. One of yoga’s underappreciated benefits is that it can offer pain relief and is, in fact, a first line recommendation for people experiencing various types of pain from generalized arthritis pain to back pain.
  5. While yoga is great as a stand-alone type of exercise, it is also beneficial when used in conjunction with other types of exercise because yoga helps build core strength, increase balance, and increase flexibility, leading to better performance in other sports.
  6. Although people think of yoga as a peaceful and meditative type of exercise, it can have significant benefits as an exercise, including calorie-burning effects that last long after the exercises are over.
  7. Yoga can help people relax, which is beneficial to getting a good night’s sleep, and unlike other exercises yoga can be performed in close proximity to bedtime without interfering with sleep.
