Indian Yoga is teaching us about importance of self-control also people can improve their self control through Yoga. People are getting benefited through yoga for self control from thousand of years. Whole concept of yoga is based upon self-control. This research is simply re-inventing the wheel. People who want to improve self-control should try Yoga for at-least couple of months.

Agreed. Additionally, I found meditation was useful for increasing my self-control. Many types of yoga are focused on meditative practices but not all. I think these are just mind tricks (hacks?) and this jives with the research the article presented.
