Impact of Yoga & Meditation on Cellular Aging

A telomere is the end of a chromosome. Telomeres are made of repetitive sequences of non-coding DNA that protect the chromosome from damage. Each time a cell divides, the telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become so short that the cell can no longer divide. - genome.gov

Findings from a Study on Yoga and Meditation Based Lifestyle Intervention (YMLI)

A study titled Impact of Yoga and Meditation on Cellular Aging in Apparently Healthy Individuals: A Prospective, Open-Label Single-Arm Exploratory Study was designed to explore the impact of Yoga and Meditation based lifestyle intervention (YMLI) on cellular aging in apparently healthy individuals.

The study found that YMLI significantly reduced the rate of cellular aging in an apparently healthy population.
