Unlabelled: This systematic review of 18 RCTs assessed the impact of yoga on balance, fall risk, fear of falling, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone turnover markers in healthy individuals. Yoga significantly improved balance but its effects on BMD were inconclusive. Standardised protocols and longer-term studies are needed.

Article Synopsis
- - Chronic low back pain (CLBP) significantly affects individuals' physical and emotional health, leading to high healthcare costs and reduced productivity, yet there is a gap in adopting recommended nonpharmacologic treatments like yoga in practice.
- - The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual yoga classes over a wait-list control in reducing CLBP intensity, improving back-related function, enhancing sleep quality, and decreasing pain medication use in adults aged 18 to 64.
- - Conducted as a 24-week randomized clinical trial with participants receiving 12 weeks of live streamed hatha yoga classes, the main outcomes focused on measuring pain intensity and disability after 12 weeks, with follow-up assessments at 24 weeks to gauge broader impacts.

Does the practice of yoga impact stress? Various studies have suggested that yoga may reduce both self-reported stress and stress biomarkers, but the evidence for such claims remains inconclusive, especially for yoga styles with a focus on physical postures. In a randomized controlled trial with 98 participants, we therefore examined whether an eight-week Hatha yoga intervention (60 min, 3×/week or more) led to reduced levels of diurnal salivary cortisol (sCort), salivary alpha-amylase (sAA), and subjective momentary stress as compared to a waitlist control group. To ensure the concomitant assessment of self-report and biological measures in an ecologically valid setting, and to capture the diurnal profile of cortisol and alpha-amylase, we employed an ecological momentary assessment approach.
