Here’s how yoga for stress relief works:
1. Meditation
Meditation is an incredibly powerful tool for relaxing and slowing down the mind as is any kind of breath awareness. Whether you’re holding postures, flowing through sequences, or in a seated meditation pose, everything begins to slow down when you take your awareness to the breath.
2. Positive energy
Yoga can benefit three aspects of ourselves that are often affected by stress: our body, mind, and breathing. By practicing yoga daily, you can drastically enhance your well-being in a positive manner. The benefits of yoga include that it induces positive energy to your body making you calm, focused, balanced, and relaxed. Whether you are at home, work, or somewhere in between, yoga is always here to help you relax.
3. Keeps negative emotions away
Emotions like fear, anger and guilt can cause stress, particularly if they are not expressed. A buildup of anything creates pressure. We actually release emotional energy really effectively throughout our yoga practice, even if you’re not aware of it. Postures that release the hips and shoulders are particularly effective.
4. Mood enhancer
Yoga can enhance your mood and overall sense of well-being, and help manage symptoms of depression and anxiety that are caused, as a result of difficult situations. If you are performing yoga outdoors, experiencing the vibrant colors, sounds, and feel of the outdoors during your yoga practice can provide a positive energy boost.
