However, researchers noted that poor study design and quality may have obscured the results. Fortunately, some later studies have confirmed that yoga may improve balance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One small Brazilian study found that five months of hatha yoga significantly improved posture and balance in healthy adults (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4097898\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
