Common Yoga Protocol Increases Peripheral Blood CD34+ Cells: An Open-Label Single-Arm Exploratory Trial.

Results After 3 months of intervention, blood samples of 17 participants were collected and following results were reported (1) percentage of CD34+ cells increased significantly after 3 months of CYP practice (from 18.18±7.32 cells/μL to 42.48±18.83 cells/μL) (effect size: W, 0.40; 95% CI, p = 0.001) (2) neurogenesis marker, ie, BDNF showed a significant change with time after 3 months of CYP intervention (effect size: W, 0.431, 95% CI; p = 0.002), (3) HDL showed an increasing trend (non-significant) after three months of CYP practice (53.017±1.28 mg/dl to 63.94±5.66 mg/dl) (effect size: W, 0.122; 95% CI; p = 0.126) (4) General Health score (10.64 ± 3.53 to 6.52 ± 3.12) (effect size: d, 0.98; 95% CI; p = 0.001) along with visual and executive function improved (69.94±26.21 to
