@article{Ward2013HeartRR, title={Heart Rate Response to Vinyasa Yoga in Healthy Adults}, author={Sarah Shepperson Ward and Noel McCluney and Pamela R. Bosch}, journal={Journal of Yoga \& Physical Therapy}, year={2013}, volume={3}, pages={1-5} }
Background: Yoga is a popular exercise, but the heart rate (HR) response to specific styles of yoga is unknown. Primary Study Objective: To determine if vinyasa yoga is an aerobic physical activity based on the HR response of participants. Methods/Design: Observational study using a convenience sample Setting: Exercise room on a university campus Participants: Forty-two adults aged 21-54 years with prior yoga experience completed the yoga session with no adverse events. Equipment malfunction…

The intensity of hatha yoga may be too low to provide a training stimulus for improving cardiovascular fitness and the data demonstrate that hatha Yoga may have little, if any, cardiovascular benefit.

There was significant reduction of minute ventilation and oxygen consumption only in males in male volunteers in Phase-I and II at the time when the volunteers reached their 80% of the predicted heart rate, and female volunteers were able to go to higher loads of exercise in phases 1 and 2.

The idea that a combination of yoga postures interspersed with relaxation reduces arousal more than relaxation alone does supports the idea that the combination of both “calming and stimulating” measures may be especially helpful in reaching a state of mental equilibrium.

Walking at moderate intensity 45% to 55% ofVo2max, with a total weekly energy expenditure of 1000–1500 kcal, improves Vo2max and body composition of previously sedentary, non-obese, postmenopausal women and apparently approaches the minimum effective dose.

There was improvement in various psychological parameters like reduction in anxiety and depression and a better mental function after yogic practices and in performance at submaximal level of exercise and in anaerobic threshold in the yoga group.
