This systematic review investigates the relationship between yoga practice and cognitive function in adults, with a specific focus on memory, attention, and executive functioning. As interest in holistic approaches to health and well-being continues to grow, understanding the potential cognitive benefits of yoga becomes increasingly relevant. The review employs systematic analysis of empirical studies. A thorough review of studies reveals a diverse body of research exploring the effects of yoga on cognitive processes in adults. The studies under consideration encompass various yoga styles, durations, and frequencies of practice, ensuring a nuanced examination of the potential cognitive benefits associated with different yoga interventions. Attention, a fundamental cognitive process, is assessed in terms of sustained attention, selective attention, and attentional control. Executive functioning, a set of higher-order cognitive processes that facilitate goal-directed behavior, is examined with a focus on cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control. Preliminary findings suggest a positive association between yoga practice and enhanced cognitive function in the domains of memory, attention and executive functioning. The mechanisms underlying these effects are explored, considering factors such as increased mindfulness, stress reduction and neurobiological changes associated with yoga practice. Furthermore, this systematic review identifies gaps in the existing literature, providing directions for future research. Methodological variations among studies and potential moderating variables are discussed to enhance the understanding of the relationship between yoga and cognitive function. The implications of these findings would assist individuals seeking cognitive benefits through yoga practice, as well as for researchers and practitioners in the fields of yoga and psychology. In conclusion, this systematic review contributes to the growing body of knowledge at the intersection of yoga and cognitive psychology, offering valuable insights into the potential cognitive benefits of yoga for adults.
