A recent study by the University of Waterloo found that 25 minutes of mindfulness meditation and Hatha yoga can improve cognitive functions, elevate energy levels, and control emotional responses.
The study included three groups completing 25 minutes of mindfulness meditation, Hatha yoga or quiet reading. The research team found that participants did better following both yoga and meditation. Though reading is relaxing it did not appear to produce benefits. The study also found that those who did yoga were sporadically more focused for the first few hours following the session.
