Go into a gym or fitness studio anywhere in the country, and it's very likely that you will find yoga classes offered there. The holistic mind-body regimen began centuries ago in the East, but like a graceful crane stretching its wings toward the moon, the practice of yoga has taken flight and swept over the Western world.

People all over the U.S. have adopted the breathing techniques, relaxing poses and gentle stretches of the system, which are known to be beneficial for many aspects of health.

In addition to helping enthusiasts relax, yoga can be a great way to manage pain and discomfort from chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia or arthritis.

According to the Chicago Tribune, studies are emerging that reveal the powerful effects of yoga on migraine headaches, back pain and even eating disorders.

"Any tradition of yoga strives to achieve a general well-being and can bring concrete benefits for many different ailments," said Fabio Andrico, a certified yoga instructor, quoted by the news source.
