3 Yoga Asanas To Improve Your Thinking Power

Memory loss is a common concern that affects people of all ages. While occasional forgetfulness is a normal part of life, some individuals may experience more severe memory problems that can impact their daily activities and quality of life. However, the problem can be improved if a person is performing yoga on regular basis. According to a research carried out by Harvard Medical Review, a person who practices yoga has a thicker cerebral cortex, which is responsible for processing information. Sarvesh Shashi, founder of Sarva Yoga Studio, emphasized on three asanas and breathing exercises that’ll help you to enhance your thinking power.
