Finding the calm in the storm Yoga & Meditation is a mind-body exercise effective for reducing stress, anxiety and depression and improving brain function and mental health.
“Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.” By fostering relaxation, a yoga practice can improve alertness and the ability to react more calmly in demanding situations. It improves concentration, decision-making skills and the ability to multi-task. At a physical level it reliefs work-related symptoms formed by repetitive motion like sitting at a desk, such as tension in the head, neck and back strain. Physical ailments such as carpal tunnel syndrome, high blood pressure and the lymphatic system can also be alleviated with a yoga and mediation practice. Insomnia and the quality of sleep are also improved increasing focus and energy in the workplace. Achieving a deeper state of relaxation has a positive impact on the system, other benefits include:
A Stressed Mind = Stressed Muscles = Negative and Anxious Thoughts A Calm Mind = Relaxed Muscles = Positive and Uplifting Thoughts Think about this: Our thoughts and actions actually change the chemical composition of the brain. When we practice deep, slow breathing, relax our muscles, and think positive thoughts, we are actually rewiring the brain. Alex Korb, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience at UCLA who studies how yoga affects stress and the brain. He states that “The specific thoughts you have may differ, but the brain regions involved and the physiological response will be the same. The physiological stress response means an increase in heart rate, breathing rate, muscle tension, and elevation of cortisol and other stress hormones.” Yoga is all about taking what we learn on the mat (all the things we will cover today: deep breathing, softening muscles, clearing the mind, and enjoying the present moment) and bringing it into our daily lives. These are the techniques that break bad habits, eliminate negativity, and diminish stress, studies have found. In addition, the powerful effects of meditation on the brain are often subjects of medical studies and new scientific research is released daily about the practice’s neurological benefits. Yoga and meditation decrease stress, depression, and anxiety while increasing happiness and the overall quality of life.
