Stress has become part of daily life — from deadlines and traffic to constant digital noise. While we can’t eliminate stress completely, yog offers powerful tools to help us manage it with grace. Through intentional movement, deep breathing, and meditation, yog activates the body’s relaxation response and promotes mental clarity.
Practices like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) or Shavasana (corpse pose) are known to slow down heart rate, reduce anxiety, and calm the nervous system. Even simple stretching with mindful breathing can release physical tension stored in the neck, shoulders, and back — common areas affected by stress.
Yog doesn’t require a perfect body or hours of practice. It simply requires presence. By showing up on the mat and connecting with your breath, you create space between stress and your reaction to it. Over time, this builds a more centered, grounded version of you — one that can handle life’s ups and downs with greater ease.
