Yeah - I had a good look at the inclusion criteria and the table of included studies. Lots of them did not have any kind of active control eg waitlist control or none). Therefore we don't really know if yoga is better for these symptoms than just reading a book or stretching or going for a run - or even just doing something new (Hawthorne effect).
