Video #2 – A Summary of the Research Findings

Please Note that the yoga shown in this news release (video 2 below) sent out by The Annals of Internal Medicine DOES NOT REPRESENT THE YOGA FOR HEALTHY LOWER BACKS PROGRAMME.  It shows extracts from a film compiled to accompany a previous smaller viniyoga trial (K. Sherman) and uses actors to demonstrate a yoga class.  Professor David Torgerson who was the principal investigator in our University of York trial, speaks about the research findings.
