?Although its biological mechanisms are not fully understood, studies to date suggest that yoga leads to better regulation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system, which help counter and control the stress response. Other stress-related benefits of yoga include: lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and of perceived stress; reduced physical arousal during stress; and reduced levels of anxiety.
