When taught rooted in a mystical spiritual tradition, yoga and meditation are enormously important ingredients in quieting the influence of the ego.

When taught as productivity or wellness hacks, yeah, you'd get the result that this study did.

It's not about how good you look doing Downward Dog. It's about taking a break from the incessant mind-chatter, and getting a chance to experience the present moment, whether through movement or stillness.
