Previous issue date: 2011-12-02 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / Techniques of mind & body control seem to benefit human organism in general and cognition in particular, because they involve a mindfulness practice. However, there is still a scarcity of studies with well-controlled methods to investigate the possible effects of Yoga practice. In this study, we investigated the effects of regular Yoga practice, based on Yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques, and meditation exercises, on memory and physiologic and psychological parameters related to quality of life. There were significant improvements on performance tasks of short term memory and long term memory. We also observed significant beneficial effects on psychological and physiological parameters such as mood, anxiety, depression, stress, and modulation of the autonomic nervous system in Yoga practitioners group compared to the conventional physical exercises group. The results suggest the possible influences of stress, emotional state and mental training on cognitive effects of yoga practice. Our results support the indication of practice of Yoga for the treatment or prevention of stress, psychological disorders and their possible cognitive consequences / T?cnicas de controle de mente e do corpo parecem beneficiar o organismo de forma geral e em particular a cogni??o, porque envolvem pr?tica de aten??o plena. No entanto, ainda h? uma escassez de estudos com m?todos bem controlados para investiga??o dos poss?veis efeitos de pr?ticas de Yoga. Neste trabalho, investigamos os efeitos da pr?tica regular de Yoga, incluindo posturas psicof?sicas (asanas), t?cnicas respirat?rias e exerc?cios meditativos, na mem?ria e em par?metros psicol?gicos e fisiol?gicos relacionados ? qualidade de vida. Houve melhoria significante em desempenho de tarefas de mem?ria de curto e longo prazos. Observamos tamb?m efeitos ben?ficos significantes em par?metros psicol?gicos e fisiol?gicos, como humor, ansiedade, depress?o, estresse, e modula??o de par?metros relacionados ao sistema nervoso aut?nomo, no grupo praticante de Yoga em compara??o ao grupo que realizou pr?tica f?sica convencional. Os resultados sugerem poss?veis influ?ncias do estresse, do estado emocional e do treinamento mental nos efeitos cognitivos da pr?tica de Yoga. Nossos resultados corroboram a indica??o da pr?tica de Yoga no tratamento ou preven??o de doen?as relacionadas ao estresse, de dist?rbios psicol?gicos e de suas poss?veis consequ?ncias cognitivas
