Balance Your Mind and Body

Feeling stressed? Join the masses who are busier than they’ve ever been before! Everyone seems to be running late, is too busy to catch up and constantly becoming sick. Are you, like others, desperate to claw your way out of such stress?

One of the best ways to seek refuge from your anxious, restless mind, is yoga.  Once mastered, the ability of yoga to balance both your body and your mind is astounding. Even a single session of yoga will lower your Cortisol levels, the stress hormone that fuels our anxious state.

Your mind continuously asks your body to work. There is a symbiotic relationship between your mind and your body. When you are mentally pressured, you expect your body to deliver you the energy to deal with these issues. Conversely, when you are exhausted, your mind is incapable of making sound decisions. One cannot work effectively without the other. That’s when the benefit of yoga comes into play.

All yoga poses a direct relationship between your physical and emotional states. For example, bending backwards represents your ability to open yourself up, while bending forwards enhances your ability to look within.

In yoga, the mind helps guide your body to function well. Through the combination of meditative practices and yogic positions, you will be able to settle your mind and help your body. A deep sleep is on the cards and that is exactly what the body and mind needs.  When your thinking process calms, your body can gain ongoing, well-needed rest. Practiced regularly, it will help you eliminate exhaustion, confusion and stress.
