Yoga. Anybody do it?

I heard it can help the T, lower stress, and raise GABA levels. I did it today for the first time and it was hard but I'm going to keep going once per week to see if it helps.

BobsDream,

I have heard that Yoga does help those with tinnitus. My family doctor suggested that I try a couple of classes as a way to reduce stress. He also stated that it helps the body tap into positive emotions instead of focusing on the negitive ones produced by tinnitus. I guess it helps to alter ones state of mind.

I heard all that too but I though it was more of a workout than a relaxing experience. When it was over I did feel really good and maybe my T was better for a few hours. My T gets a little better after a regular cardio workout as well. I think it has more to do with the distraction of pain and pleasure.

Yes T has gotten better because yoga and other things help me to reduce stress. This is my third week!
