The Science of Yoga: The Risks and the Rewards is a 2012 book by William Broad.
Broad investigates the veracity of health claims associated with yoga, utilizing scientific methods. Broad, who has practiced yoga since 1970 and is also a seasoned science reporter for The New York Times, examines these claims with a neutral perspective, guided by inquiry and thorough research. His findings both confirm and debunk various assertions about yoga’s benefits, such as its effects on anxiety and aging, while clarifying that it does not significantly impact weight loss.
Broad's analysis extends to evaluating the scientific rigor of the studies he reviews, including the reputation of the journals in which they are published and the methodologies used. His research journey also explores yoga’s historical roots in India, uncovering its transformation from ancient practices to its modern Western iteration. The book presents an unbiased look at the evidence surrounding yoga’s effects and its historical context, providing a detailed account of its evolution and cultural adaptation.
Reception
The book has been reviewed by the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Kirkus Reviews.
