Kundalini yoga: Kundalini yoga is one of many traditions of yoga that share common roots in ancient Indian philosophy. It is comprehensive in that it combines physical poses with breath control exercises, chanting (mantras), meditations, prayer, visualizations, and guided relaxation. Two small clinical trials have examined a specific multi-faceted regime of Kundalini yoga techniques for obsessive-compulsive disorder. These two studies suggested broad psychological benefits (reduced anxiety and depression) from the practices as well as reduced symptoms of OCD for up to 19 months. Both studies were limited by small sample size, inadequate control group, and incomplete description of randomization. More studies are needed.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
