It’s evidence‑informed rather than “one RCT per exact asana.” The strongest support is for yoga as a modality that improves HbA1c, insulin sensitivity, stress (as measured by cortisol/HRV), sleep, and adherence to activity

The seven poses below were chosen to cover the mechanisms most tied to glucose and weight: vagal/parasympathetic activation (forward bends, restorative work, Savasana), spinal mobility (Cat–Cow, twist), light strength/thermal load (Bridge, Boat), and venous return/stress relief (Legs‑Up‑the‑Wall).That’s the straight story: solid science for the effects, with specific poses mapped to those effects; fewer studies isolate a single named asana.

Seated Forward Bend

Paschimottanasana · 1–2 min

Digestion + vagal tone; calming start.

Cat–Cow Stretch

Marjaryasana–Bitilasana · 8–12 rounds

Autonomic balance; mobilizes spine.

Supine Twist

Supta Matsyendrasana · 45–60s/side

Aids digestion; parasympathetic shift.

Bridge Pose

Setu Bandhasana · 3×5 breaths

Light strength + circulation.

Boat Pose

Navasana · 20–30s × 2–3

Core activation → glucose uptake.

Legs‑Up‑the‑Wall

Viparita Karani · 3–5 min

Lower stress; improve venous return.

Savasana (Final Rest)

— · 3–5 min

Deep relaxation; consolidates gains.

Pose	Sanskrit	Time / Reps	Why it helps (diabetes & weight)
Seated Forward Bend	Paschimottanasana	1–2 min	Stimulates digestion & vagal tone; calming start that can blunt post‑meal spikes.
Cat–Cow Stretch	Marjaryasana–Bitilasana	8–12 rounds	Spinal mobility + diaphragmatic breathing → autonomic balance; eases tension.
Supine Twist (each side)	Supta Matsyendrasana	45–60s/side	Gentle organ squeeze/soak aids digestion; promotes parasympathetic shift.
Bridge Pose	Setu Bandhasana	3 × 5 slow breaths	Light strength + mild backbend → metabolic heat and circulation.
Boat Pose	Navasana	20–30s × 2–3 sets	Core activation increases muscle glucose uptake; improves insulin sensitivity.
Legs‑Up‑the‑Wall	Viparita Karani	3–5 min	Down‑shifts stress response; improves venous return; calms breath and mind.
Savasana (Final Rest)	—	3–5 min	Deep relaxation lowers cortisol and consolidates benefits.

Make this fifteen (15) to thirty (30) minute yoga routine part of your daily habit. Be mindful that it needs to be part of your day. Before you begin your routine, or after and throughout your day, take time to meditate. Meditation helps us be mindful of moments and permits us to begin and maintain new habits.
