Have you ever thought how relaxed and overwhelmed your life could be?
In today’s competitive environment everyone is living such a busy life because of work pressure, societal needs to complete, an urge to live up to family expectations and other basic things. One hardly gets time for oneself. This makes a person aggressive and impatient.
According to figures in the Health and Safety Executive Annual Statistics Report for Great Britain, 2012/13, 22.7 million working days were lost due to work-related ill health problems during that period and mental ill health is the single highest cause of working days lost within this figure.
Thus keeping this thing in mind many people have introduced themselves to the concept of YOGA AT WORK.
Yes. Yoga provides cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate and improving oxygen intake during exercise. The breathing practice, known as Pranayama, helps you slow down and deepen your breath. It activates the body’s parasympathetic system or how we relax. It can also provide you with benefits like increasing productivity, motivation, decision making, energy, mental illness, creativity etc. It can also help in improving stamina, memory, focus, concentration, flexibility, physical strength etc
