Introduction

S TRESS IS UNAVOIDABLE and can sneak its way into even the happiest persons life. Stress follows any ordeal that is characterized by our expectations or something were working very hard for. It can raid our minds and bodies before weddings, examinations, presentations, social gatherings or just about even the most minor of things. Therefore, its safe to say that being stressed is not our own choice, but in fact, it is a-free-of-cost feeling we get for every ordeal in our life as a spontaneous visitor.

Now that were clear, stress comes and goes as it pleases but if its getting too much, there are things we can do to avoid it for e.g. yoga. Heres how yoga helps to reduce stress:

Relaxes the Mind

Its all in your head/mind, which is why its hard to get rid of it. Meditation will help that mind of yours to stop and focus on just one thing. There are certain yoga poses, which because of their complexity, help your mind to focus on them entirely, in turn, calming your brain that appears to be in a rut with all of the frantic thought processes.

Relaxes the Body

After the mind -comes the body. Yoga will help your body to release its tension and stress by breaking all barriers that had been holding all your muscles and nerves captive for so long. The different yoga poses will guide your body into various positions, resulting in increased flexibility and great posture. Whether your job had been a reason for stress for you or it was your personal life- yoga will help you focus on something that matters on hand.

Helps to Develop Connection of the Mind with the Body

Once you start doing yoga, your body will work to ease into all poses that you try. In doing so, your mind will come to terms with the requirement of concentration that the body will require from it. In no time your body and mind will work in perfect unison on the route to distressing.

Relaxed and Effective Breathing

Stress really affects the most trivial bodily functions as well as something as basic as breathing. If you are a stressed individual, you wouldnt even realize the parts of your mind and body the pent-up stress is affecting. Yoga will help to induce an everythings fine and stay calm feeling in you until your ragged breathing comes to a stable inhale and exhale. In this way, youll realize How to Dough and anxious your breathing had been prior to beginning your yoga exercise.

Yoga is the best way to reduce all that pent-up stress, for a lot of reasons. It gives you the energy to release your emotions and directly and effectively with the least bit of damage to our own well-being. Just know that all of the stress, guilt, remorse, sadness, and anger resides inside our bodies. From shoulders to arms to legs to our backs, we store all the negativity from top to bottom. Yoga will help to let go of all of that and help us bury the hatchet with our own selves.

Now, lets get into the poses!

Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

T HE MOUNTAIN POSE CAN be employed as a resting pose or a preliminary pose for just about any standing asana. Even though this pose appears easy, it is great for improving your posture and body alignment, toning the spinal nerves, and creating a sense of consciousness throughout the body. As a pose in itself its useful to practice. Simply stay in the pose for thirty seconds to one minute, breathing easily.
