Kundalini yoga: Kundalini yoga is one of many traditions of yoga, which share common roots in ancient Indian philosophy.

More studies are needed to determine if these techniques can reliably be used to improve cognitive performance and possibly aid in treating cognitive and nervous system disorders.Avoid exercises that involve stoppage of breath with heart or lung problems, insomnia, poor memory or concentration.
