Yogis Unite!
Take a deep breath. Inside and out. Repeat. Do you feel more relaxed already? Breathing and meditation are frequently practiced in yoga; a practice of mind and body with the historical origins of the ancient Indian philosophy (NIH). Different styles of yoga typically combine physical postures, breathing and meditation or relaxation techniques. This month, we celebrate the National Yoga Month!
designated by the Department of Health and Human Resources in 08, Yoga Month helps to encourage individuals to learn and get involved in yoga and lead a healthier life. Not only is it good for your body, it also promotes harmony in the lives of those who participate. Yoga is beneficial for your body and mind and can help reduce the negative effects of diseases such as diabetes, chronic back pain, and depression, among many other benefits. Overall, those who practice have a low rate of side effects and the risk of serious injury is low (NIH).
Yoga can also reduce stress in the workplace. Entering a practice of meditation can help you relax, open your mind and be more productive during your work day. Using a relaxation technique such as meditation or yoga can help you separate your work life from your home life.
