Yoga

Published on Aug 28, 2023 • 3 Min read


#Yoga, an ancient #Indian philosophy and practice is over 5,000 years old. Today, this spiritual practice in has become a global phenomenon, embraced by people from all walks of life. Even amid the concrete and glass jungles of the modern workplace where stress has become an unwelcome companion, the essence of yoga continues to thrive, offering calm and peace.

The search for #balance and #peace has led individuals to explore various avenues. Among these, the ancient practice of yoga stands as a beacon of hope and happiness.

Yoga is a holistic approach to nurturing a #connection between the mind, body and soul. It facilitates the integration and alignment of senses, thoughts, emotions and energy with the inner self and thereby helps in taking right action. The #philosophy of Yoga is not limited to a set of asanas and pranayama. The true import of Yoga is to help an individual withdraw from the external world and anchor within to develop a relationship with the inner self. Through a combination of physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness techniques, yoga alleviates stress, enhances focus, and cultivates a sense of well-being.

According to a #study conducted by the American Institute of Stress, a staggering 80% of workers feel stressed on the #job, with nearly half admitting they need help managing this #stress. Prolonged exposure to such stressors leads to a host of physical and #mentalhealth issues.

#Scientific #research has unveiled the numerous benefits of incorporating yoga into one's routine like improved sleep quality, reduced #anxiety, and a greater sense of emotional well-being. A study published that practising yoga for as little as eight weeks significantly reduces overall stress levels. Yoga, with its timeless wisdom, asks us to pause, breathe, and realign with our inner-self. So, let us remember that amidst the chaos, tranquil moments of calm await—one mat, one pose, and one mindful breath at a time and we can start our #journey towards #balance and #well-being.

As the renowned yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar once said, "Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.”
