This suggests that the practice of yoga should be explored as a treatment for disorders with low GABA levels such as depression and anxiety disorders. Future studies should compare yoga to other forms of exercise to help determine whether yoga or exercise alone can alter GABA levels.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In this study, GABA levels were measured with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3383792\/\" target=\"_blank\">magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRS\/MRSI)<\/a>\u00a0before and after the yoga and reading sessions.
