New study on the effects of restorative yoga vs stretching on subjects with metabolic syndrome. Here is how the researchers distinguished the two: The restorative yoga intervention was created by an expert yoga panel employing Iyengar poses and Iyengar influenced poses. The poses consisted of five main resting poses with several modifications to each pose. These included forward and backward bending, twisting, inverted and reclining positions, and most poses were held for 10–15 min at a time with eyes covered with a towel or an eye pillow. The stretching intervention was created by a physical therapist and a yoga expert and consisted of 27 seated or standing stretches that involved all parts of the body. Stretching was designed to promote flexibility, range of motion, and postural alignment without strong exertion or relaxation.
