A survey of 520 yoga practitioners found that stress reduction was the most common motivation for starting yoga. Regular practice was associated with significantly lower stress levels, and experienced practitioners reported less stress than beginners. Dynamic forms of yoga that combine fluid movements with synchronized breathing were particularly effective. The findings suggest that yoga is an affordable, side-effect-free tool for managing stress across all ages.
