Abstract

We examined changes in brain waves and blood levels of serum Cortisol during yoga exercise in 7 yoga instructors and found that alpha waves increased and serum Cortisol decreased. These two measures were negatively correlated ( r = -.83). Comparison with a control group of nonpractitioners is desirable.
