Yoga is relatively more effective than more popular methods like aerobics in treating obesity, according to a study conducted by a reputed Yoga institute here.
Although both aerobics and yoga were found to be effective in controlling overweight and excessive body fat, Yoga was found to be more effective and appropriate than aerobics for the purpose.
The study was conducted by the Kaivalyadhama Ashrama located here, around 125 km east of Mumbai, on a set of around 204 male and female obese people aged between 15-60 years for a period of one month.
