Found an article that studies other possible benefits of yoga. Not all of them are particularly pertinent to the college age crowd, but I thought they were good so I summarized them here for you!
According to scientific evidence...
1. Yoga can improve certain types or symptoms of back pain.
2. Upper body yoga practices may help a person decrease symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome - avoid wrist straining poses.
3. May relieve some symptoms of osteoarthrits.
4. Yoga improves overall endurance, strength and flexibility.
5. It may be a good form of treatment with patients with ADD or ADHD.
6. It might decrease risk of cardiovascular disease.
7. It may also help with stressors and depressive disorders.

Also found a link for classes in the Warrensburg area that I didn't mention in my last yoga post.
Warrensburg: http://loosemooseyoga.com/ ...for the fall semester
I'm not sure how expensive classes will be, but I will try to find this information.
