Yoga is a great way to improve your flexibility - and not just for touching your toes. Neuroscientists looking into the effects of yoga on the brain have found that practicing this ancient art can help promote healthy, flexible minds. People who practice yoga can hold on to more gray matter as they age and tend to perform better in cognitive tests than those who don’t. That’s because yoga might help with neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to reorganize and make new neural connections.
