Yoga may have strong and profound effect in improved energy expression, some scientists suggested.

Yoga, the ancient practical  technique for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been best known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study to investigate study the effects of yoga poses on subjective sense of energy and self-esteem. in compared to the effects of 'power poses, after taking into account of other confounders, researcher found that yoga group participating meditation score a significantly increased subjective sense of energy in compared to control.

Further analysis, the study also suggested that yoga posts with performing open, expansive body postures may be driven by processes other than the poses' in association with interpersonal power and dominance.

Interestingly, Dr. Golec de Zavala A, the lead author said, " positive effects of yoga practice can occur after performing yoga poses for only 2 min".

Other researchers in the evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability, and patient-reported effectiveness of a clinical yoga program at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center and assessed whether these outcomes differed between those participating in-person and those participating via telehealth based on 64 Veterans completed the survey researchers concluded that more than 80% of veterans showed an improvement of energy levels after participating yoga class.

Furthermore, the returned survey also indicated that yoga participated demonstrated a overall improvement, or improvement in any of 16 specific health problems.

Other study in comparison of the energy expenditure during acute bouts of vinyasa yoga and 2 walking protocols of participants (20 males, 18 females) performed 60-minute sessions of vinyasa yoga (YOGA), treadmill walking at a self-selected brisk pace (SELF), and treadmill walking at a pace that matched the heart rate of the YOGA session (HR-Match) suggested that
Energy expenditure was significantly lower in YOGA compared with HR-Match (difference = 79.5 ± 44.3 kcal; P < .001) and SELF (difference = 51.7 ± 62.6 kcal; P < .001), but not in SELF compared with HR-Match (difference = 27.8 ± 72.6 kcal; P = .054). A similar pattern was observed for metabolic equivalents (HR-Match = 4.7 ± 0.8, SELF = 4.4 ± 0.7, YOGA = 3.6 ± 0.6; P < .001). Analyses using only the initial 45 minutes from each of the sessions, which excluded the restorative component of YOGA, showed energy expenditure was significantly lower in YOGA compared with HR-Match (difference = 68.0 ± 40.1 kcal; P < .001) but not compared with SELF (difference = 15.1 ± 48.7 kcal.

The reduced expenditure of energy in yoga participation may be another indication of yoga participants oashowed significantly energetic expression after yoga class.

Physically, yoga certain postures were also found to improved digestive system  in absorption of nutrients as well as  blood circulation in transport them to the body tissues and organs, thus increasing energy in 2 ways
1. By improving digestive problems such as indigestion, cramping, bloating, constipation.
2. For healthy people, yoga enhanced energy balance, through regulating gut peptides in expression of autocrine signalling

Psychologically, yoga breathing and mediation promoted calmness and relaxation of central nervous system have strong implications in reduced psychic symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress...improving sleep pattern, particularly in insomnia.

Truly, people with a high level of psychological distress caused psychic problems are often difficult falling and staying asleep and have a tendency to dozing off early and waking up feeling exhausted and decreased energy levels.

Taking altogether, yoga exercise may be considered as primary therapy in improving daily energy  levels for people encountering a hectic life.with full of incessant or frantic activity. 

However, The over all information may only serve as preliminary evidences for the effectiveness of a clinical yoga program before supporting the use of yoga in healthcare settings, specially in energy enhancing.
