Yes, yoga can help lower blood sugar levels. Practicing yoga regularly improves insulin sensitivity, reduces stress, and enhances overall physical activity, all of which contribute to better blood sugar control.

Incorporating comfortable attire like soft yoga leggings during practice can enhance movement and focus, making the experience more effective in managing blood sugar levels.
