The article discusses the role of yoga in the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is a condition caused by the obstruction or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, leading to ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. These conditions can cause significant damage to the brain, affecting motor, sensory, and cognitive functions, and can be life-threatening. The article highlights that stroke is a leading cause of mortality globally and in Brazil, emphasizing the importance of early rehabilitation to maximize recovery potential. The rehabilitation process involves a multidisciplinary team and can include pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and surgical interventions. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as physiotherapy, risk factor reduction, and postural management, are crucial. Research indicates that yoga can be a valuable tool in stroke rehabilitation, not only by reducing risk factors and contributing to disease prevention but also by aiding in the recovery of physical and cognitive functions. Yoga, an ancient practice from India, focuses on physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and can be adapted to individual needs. It involves postures, breathing techniques, and meditation, which can improve balance, reduce stress, enhance cognitive function, and increase brain activity in areas related to attention, consciousness, and emotional processing. When integrated with advancements in neuroscience, such as NeuroYoga, yoga can further complement the rehabilitation process, positively impacting patients' quality of life. The article also discusses the benefits of yoga in reducing risk factors for stroke, such as stress, hypertension, and cardiovascular risks, and its positive effects on sleep, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. NeuroYoga, a specific form of yoga, combines traditional yoga principles with scientific knowledge about brain function, aiming to enhance neuroplasticity, reduce cognitive rigidity, modulate the autonomic nervous system, and improve brain connectivity. In conclusion, the article emphasizes that yoga is an effective complementary practice in stroke rehabilitation, offering benefits such as improved physical mobility, reduced stress, anxiety, and depression, and enhanced cognitive stimulation and independence. When combined with scientific knowledge from neuroscience, yoga can significantly benefit the neurorehabilitation of stroke patients.The article discusses the role of yoga in the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
