Breakthrough research published in CNS Spectrums reveals patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) participating in a kundalini yoga protocol had a 71% improvement in symptoms on the Yale - Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.

Researchers at Children's Hospital, San Diego, California, assigned 22 patients with OCD either to a kundalini yoga protocol or a Relaxation Response plus Mindfulness Meditation Technique class. The two groups participated in 1 hour classes weekly for 3 months. 

The kundalini yoga protocol was devised specifically for patients with OCD. The other group practiced standard Relaxation Response and Mindfulness Meditation techniques.

Researchers found the kundalini yoga group had significant improvement in symptoms. However, the relaxation/mindfulness group did not show symptoms improvement.

The two groups were merged for another year of kundalini yoga treatment.  At 15 months, the final group had a 71% improvement in symptoms on the Yale - Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.

"This study demonstrates that kundalini yoga techniques are effective in the treatment of OCD," the researchers conclude.

A study published in Interdisciplinary International Journal found yoga, breathing and chanting significantly reduced obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms.

 
Researchers at Dev Sanskriti University in India, assigned 60 patients with the anxiety disorder OCD to yoga practice. All of the participants were not on drug therapy.

The patients participated in a 60-minute yoga practice for 45 sessions. The yoga program included 20 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of yoga breathing, 10 minutes of mantra chanting and herbal medicines.

"The holistic approach produced significant reduction in the level of OCD," the researchers write. "The combination of these specific techniques has a collective effect on the patients and causes significant reduction in the symptoms of OCD."

YOGA WEIGHT LOSS FOR NEW YEAR NEW YOU

As we forge ahead into a new year many of us who overindulged during the

holidays now make resolutions to lose weight. Unfortunately, most weight loss plans

are fads that offer short-term solutions to a long-term problem. Many people find

these plans impossible to stay on for a lengthy period of time. In contrast, yoga

offers a positive change in lifestyle, where permanent weight loss and maintenance

is a natural result of enjoyable yoga exercise, diet and cooking. By balancing food

intake, vigorous yoga practice, and meditation, you'll achieve your ideal weight

while enriching your mind.
