A new study by researchers at the University of New York that the practice of Yoga reduces the physical and psychological symptoms of chronic pain in women with pain in the muscle fibers. This study is the first to look at the impact of yoga on the levels of cortisol in women with pain in the muscle fiber "" fibromyalgia. Characterized this case, which mostly affect women, through the pain and chronic fatigue; and common symptoms include muscle stiffness, and sleep disturbances, and discomfort in the digestive tract, anxiety and depression.
I have found previous research that women with pain in the muscle fibers to have levels of cortisol less than average, and that contribute to the sensation of pain, fatigue and stress. According to this study, revealed the saliva of the participants reported high levels of cortisol after following the program for 75 minutes of yoga Alhatha, twice a week over eight weeks.
Says the author of the pilot study, Catherine Curtis, a PhD student in the Department of York Psychology, Faculty of Health that: "Ideally, we have the levels of cortisol when peak after about 30-40 minutes to wake up in the morning and continue to decline throughout the day until ready to go to sleep. " She added: "The secretion of the hormone cortisol in women with pain in the muscle fiber, it is a regular."

And Curtis says: "We have seen levels of perception and awareness have increased where they were more able to stay away from the mental state of pain." Cognition is a form of active mental awareness, and is achieved through full attention to the moment with non-judgmental awareness of internal and external expertise. "If our findings strongly suggest that the psychological changes in turn affect our experience of physical pain.
