Yoga can improve your mood and general sense of well-being.
In different studies, yoga has been shown to help reducing stress and anxiety. Yoga can improve your mood and general sense of well-being. It can also help you to manage depression and anxiety symptoms that result from difficult situations.
Despite the lack of hard data on certain points, yoga has been shown to be effective in managing stress and anxiety. Several studies have proven, in the last decade, its usefulness as a tool. The relationship of stress with pain and anxiety are very important in this matter. According to the results, yoga helps to change the focus of attention as well as to physically mitigate the sensation of pain.
In several institutes of India specialized in yoga, all the practices of yoga have been studied, breathing, asanas (body postures), sequences, everything is absolutely measured, corroborated and for a long time there have been practices in which they have changed different asanas to see different benefits, and there is hard data to prove it.
The practice of yoga is not a gymnastic practice, but we are talking about the entire study, we are talking about pranayama (breathing exercises), the study of food, kriyas (study of internal and external cleaning of the body), the study of philosophy and the study of practice.
Yoga is a scientific discipline because you can measure what happens to a person who has little practice, one who has a medium practice and one who has a constant; there are some characteristics that determine that they are actually doing yoga.
On the other hand, we know that practicing yoga helps reducing typical indicators of stress, such as cortisol, the hormone associated with this emotional disposition. Some recent studies have proven that yoga is an effective measure to reduce anxiety levels. This practice has also been shown to help with depression.
These data are also measured, the institutes in India mentioned above have also overseen checking how the brain is before and after a yoga practice.
A 2007 study in patients who were taking antidepressant medications, but who were in partial remission, showed significant reductions in depression, anger, anxiety, and neurotic symptoms. The study supports the potential of yoga as a complementary treatment for depression. In short, there are several reasons to think that yoga can be a useful and effective tool to treat some of these problems.
Where do the benefits of yoga come from?
However, the main indirect benefit is the calm of the mind but not because of weight of loss but rather because the mind is calm, the ways and attitudes change and that calm allows to see things with a greater awareness. Calm and joy are also considered one of the indirect consequences of yoga, the fact that people begin to have more space allows them to have a more sense of joy and that also helps to live better.
On the other hand, practicing yoga consists of other psychological and physiological phenomena common to other sports. Among the first ones, of course, we find routine and discipline. These two are essential in breaking down the feeling of block that a person with anxiety faces, and they are very effective in dealing with stress. This psychological effect settles better thanks to the physiological.
Our brain has a series of neural mechanisms to fix behaviors that are positive and counteract other negative ones. Thus, the processes related to stress and anxiety involve all kinds of hormones and molecules responsible for controlling the body’s response: adrenaline, norepinephrine, androgen hormones, glucocorticoids … These occur because of a situation that we identify as a threat. On the contrary, as with exercise and yoga, when we make certain efforts, our body sets a certain sensation of reward by secreting hormones such as endorphins, which help us to repeat the behavior.
How to use yoga to combat stress
Practicing yoga on a regular basis is the right formula to help us combat anxiety and stress, because it will involve regular physical exercise and a predisposition to it.
We can choose the positions that interest us the most, being able to choose those that are intended to maintain our flexibility. The effort involved, not very high, will promote the benefits we were talking about. If what we want is to practice it with a mere relaxing intention, there are other positions sought. They work a lot on the corporal disposition and breathing (like all yoga) with the intention of seeking muscle and mental relaxation. And the best thing about yoga is that we can choose what we always need or want most.
We can choose yoga sequences, in a yoga practice always must be all the main postures and then there are a series of combinations, inputs and outputs in the asana that make it more beneficial for flexibility and others to make it more beneficial to reinforce strength, but you cannot choose loose asanas (body postures), we always talk about sequences.
