Sudarshan Kriya Yoga Promotes Telomere Elongation: A Pilot Study.
Abstract
Telomere length has been identified as a marker for biological aging and stressful body states. Mind-body interventions for stress reduction such as meditation, yoga, and pranayama have been previously tested to evaluate their efficacy in restricting telomere shortening.

Research summary
The paper investigates the relationship between Sudarshan Kriya Yoga and telomere elongation, which is pertinent to biological aging and stress reduction. While it addresses a potential intervention for telomere length, the study is a pilot and may not provide robust evidence or significant new insights into the mechanisms of aging. Thus, it contributes to the field but with limited impact.
