A brand-new study points the way to fun, feel-good exercise that’s good for a teenager’s body and mind: Yoga. Conducted by a researcher from Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the study followed 51 11^th- and 12^th graders who took yoga classes or a regular high school phys-ed class for 10 weeks.

The students took a set of psychological tests before and after the program. The result?  Mood problems, anxiety and negative emotions stayed the same or improved among yoga students, but grew worse among those taking regular PE. And nearly three out of four said they’d like to keep on doing yoga.
