How yoga can boost your brain and lower your stress, and even reverse signs of ageing.

Why practising yoga isn’t such a stretch! Michael learns how just 25 minutes a day can lower your stress, boost your brain and even reverse signs of ageing at the cellular level.

Although yoga is thought to have been practised for over 5,000 years, its myriad benefits for our health and wellbeing are still being uncovered. Professor Rima Dada from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi reveals the extraordinary findings into the benefits of yoga - how half an hour a day can slow down ageing at a cellular level by protecting your mitochondria and your DNA. It can also improve your brain health and even reduce symptoms of depression. Just a few sessions are enough for our volunteer James to catch the yoga bug!
