Reduces Stress! Stress doesn't cause pain on its own, but it can drain your health in a number of ways. It ages you faster, weakens your immune system, increases your blood pressure, and makes it harder to control your weight because stress often leads to unhealthy food choices. Calming poses include those with forward bending.
Fights Depression! Yoga is not only about relaxation- It can also lift you out of a slump! Those with depression who added Yoga classes 3 times a week felt less depressed, anxious and angry. Yoga helps produce serotonin, a natural antidepressant, and reduces cortisol, a stress hormone that is elevated in those with depression. Energizing poses include those with standing heart opening poses and twists.
