1. 🖐🏽

2. It's unfortunate that the West has confused this beautiful science. People confuse the movements-Asanas- with Yoga. Yoga is a system to incorporate movements-Asanas, breathing techniques-Prana, meditation, diet, and other principles.

3. So glad you’re doing this series, same thing that has intrigued me for a long time. Thoroughly enjoy doing yoga and the flexibility it brings me. That has to be a good thing. (In my case yoga came after the WFPB diet.)

4. So interesting. Thank you 🌊🍀

5. Oh wow! I don’t know how many RCTs are published but I remember a meta-analysis on depression that suggested advantages over plain relaxation. What a cool idea for a series!!!

6. ❤

7. Yoga is not physical exercise. It is a lifestyle. It has 8 phases:

   The eight limbs of yoga are yama (abstinences), niyama (observances), asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (absorption).

8. Amazing series

9. I love this channel!

10. 🙏💜

11. Good job to put forward yoga lifestyle. I am a senior yoga teacher eating medical medium style. For sure, yoga is a healthier community compared to others. So when you say I practice yoga, you want to say I wanna be healthy in most of the cases. Mel Robin is a serous Yoga teacher who can help you to understand better the yoga bodies. Some Indian teachers too who are doctors like Mukund Bhole, who manage a clinic in India.

12. looking forward to this series

13. The only thing that improved my health really noticably was adopting a WFPB diet (from a lifelong vegetarian diet that was already very healthy). I do yoga I to keep my joints and muscles mobile/flexible. It improves my physical and mental wellbeing.

14. What a great idea! I'll put on a tinfoil hat and let aliens decide my fate next time I want ice-cream, Thanks Doc!

15. 🎉🥇Congratulations for having raised the curiosity and health of 1MILLION subscribers, dr Greger & team!!!🎉❤🙂🥳

16. I absolutely love the fact that you are doing this mythbusting series! Yoga seems too light to be effective on our bodies, but who knows? same with meditation. I'm eager to learn more as you unravel it in this series.

17. They've long said any time of exercise improves longevity. I have no reason to assume yoga would be any different.

18. 👍👍

19. I would rather do aerobics.
    "Walk at home"
    With Lesle Sansone

20. Yoga ís fantastic but I doubt if the practice itself leads to better health. We should compare Yoga, Runners, Bikers for instance. That would be very revealing. Lets find out next.

21. The West practices Asanas, not Yoga. I wish they would fix that terminology.

22. Darn it. Another cliff hanger!!

23. They will have to pry my elliptical from my cold dead hands.

24. It absolutely does, anyone saying otherwise is clueless. What's next "Does water hydrate you? Let's find out!"

    I usually love you doc, but this is just silly.

25. I opened the video with the secret hope to know how to do double blind studies for Yoga movement 😂

26. An orthopedic doctor told me yoga isn't good for those with hyper extending joints..can cause damage.

27. I am very curious about this series, Doc! I fit the description of a yoga participant to a t, both the good and the bad. And I use intense yoga practices to meet my 40 mins of vigorous activity per day (using intense yoga practices ofc). I can't wait to see what you find!

28. Whst it did for me is overstretch my hip tendons so I've never walked the same.

29. How can you do a 6 part series on Yoga and Not tell the facts about it? You will Only talk about the exercise part. You won't talk about the fact Yoga is part of the Hindu religion and in the doing of the yoga exercises you are in effect showing support for a mythological deity. Dr, you throw your Own Hebrew God under the bus! That would be Blasphemous. If Satanism had an exercise routine, Yoga would be it. It's Nothing either Jews or Christians should ever be doing.

30. I like non-ISKCON bhakti-yoga, and Vancouver's own Jeffrey Armstrong and his Gita Comes Alive translation (Jeffrey decolonised ancient scripture, getting rid of mistranslated words such as "God", "Lord", "heaven", "hell", "sin", "religion", "angel", "demi-god", "sacrifice", "idol", "faith", and "charity"–meanings not existing in the ancient Sanskrit words used; Jeffrey has reintroduced the accurate Sanskrit terms into the English verses and explains Vedic concepts that have been lost–or suppressed in the West[!]–in translation [The West–e.g., prestigious universities–has repeatedly erased records of how Ancient Greece and Rome were civilised by Ancient India's Vedic civilisation]).

31. Dr Gregor, I am elderly, brown with arthritis in my back and other joints. When I get stiff and achy, yoga relieves my pain and stiffness. I do a variety of exercises as swimming, walking and biking but yoga keeps me limber and pain free. For me – It’s priceless

32. Yoga has great health benefits because of insert personal anecdote and also because *he says another personal anecdote*.

33. A bit concerned from this first entry that this series won't understand what yoga really is… most people erroneously think it's just the asana part (the stretching and bodily positions)… I'm not a full practitioner myself but yoga encompassess MUCH more than just that. It entails breathwork (pranayama), meditation, bodily cleansing practices AND diet… A full practitioner of yoga also incorporates a vegetarian diet (no meat including fish though they do eat dairy and eggs)… eating no meat is PART OF what full yoga IS… so when people say that a yoga lifestyle leads to lower cholesterol, it's not due to the stretching part…it's due to the vegetarian part that is essential to a full yoga lifestyle…

34. Yoga just makes my body feel awazing, stronger and balanced. I don't need more proof for that)

35. yep…difficult subject to study put to the "test"…..however, I feel the good doctor here will be milking his one as there will be plenty of evidence that shows this is good for you in form, shape or manner!

36. I took yoga 40 years ago and it has real benefits and is better conditioning than you might think. I didn't stick with it as I prefer bicycling, skiing, swimming, etc..

37. My tin foil hat isnt working for some odd reason…😂

38. Traducir en español 🙏🏻

39. 🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️YOGI HEAD COUNT!🧘‍♂️🧘🧘🏽‍♀️
    How many of us Dr Greger followers are also yoga practitioners?
    Please answer this comment 😊
    How long have you been practicing yoga?
    How long have you been vegan / vegetarian?
    Were you vegan / vegetarian before starting your yoga practice or because of it?

    Thank you!❤

40. The biggest flaw to all these studies is what we see as "Yoga" in the west is not the ancient and traditional form of Yoga created in India. We could still research this new lifestyle for its benefits but with a different name perhaps?

41. As a yoga instructor of over a decade, I am SUPER excited for this series! 😆🙌

42. Yoga is demonic….

43. Dear Dr. Greger, yoga leading to asthma is IMPOSSIBLE!!!! It has helped a lot of people including myself. If an asthmatic is dumb enough to run a marathon at full speed it might harm him but again it can ALSO if persisted ( obviously depends on the severity) could benefit or even relieve asthma…. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT. And so with certain Yogic exercises ( first of all not all yoga is the same, you can do yoga just with fingers – Mudras& Kundalini or pranayama which could suffocate you regardless of your lung capacity. Obviously you have to take into account the guidelines and very important common sense too🙏

44. Long standing cervical, shoulder and neck pain after years of swimming the crawl only breathing on the right. Physio no good so I collated my own set of yoga stretches (and some pilates). Now free of frightening headaches but it took a long time. Still doing whole body yoga.

45. A regular hot yoga practice gave me something positive to focus on and I managed to stop my problem drinking. Even if someone told me there were no benefits to it I would still go because I come out feeling amazing every time.

46. I used to donate $100/month to you, but not anymore. This channel has gone downhill. Stop making multi-part cliffhanger videos that barely cover anything and are milking youtube views. Instead, make a COMPREHENSIVE full video that contains all the parts. There's no excuse for this nonsense.

47. What about energy healing???

48. if dr greger had a band it would be called: Greger and the Cliffhangers

49. Really looking forward to the rest of the series 😀

50. 6 parts……………..I'll take notes.

51. Congrats Dr. Greger for 1M subscribers

52. You little tease Michael!

53. Coming from the land of yoga. Yoga is not just physical exercises but it's a lifestyle of cruel free diet , no vices like smoking, alcohol, early morning and/or evening meditation

54. You don't even have a good definition of yoga.
    Why are you so un-scientific on this topic ? … bro …

55. Yoga ASANA? Or Yoga as a lifestyle (as traditionally meant)?

56. Yup… it’s that good. Believe it or not

57. ❤Yoga, Breathing exercises, Meditation, Diet etc The ancient Indians knew more than what we know now…the west will spend millions on research but its already proven to be beneficial by so many.
