How yoga is healthy and helpful..........

The body’s natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and yoga can help you activate this relaxation response. When practiced regularly, these activities lead to a reduction in your everyday stress levels and a boost in your feelings of joy and serenity. What’s more, they also serve a protective quality by teaching you how to stay calm and collected in the face of life’s curveballs.
The relaxation response is not:
  • laying on the couch
  • sleeping
  • being lazy
The relaxation response is:
  • a mentally active process that leaves the body relaxed
  • best done in an awake state
  • trainable and becomes more profound with practice
