International Yoga Day (21 June) is round the corner so it is a good time to make Yoga a holistic approach towards the Stress Management. Now lets us see how Stress affects our daily life in modern times. Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to life experiences. Everyone expresses stress from time to time. Anything from everyday responsibilities like work and family to serious life events such as a new diagnosis, war, or the death of a loved one can trigger stress. In today’s era of globalization there is a lot of competition, innovation and change. Stress can actually be positive, as it helps us to stay alert, motivated and focused on the task at hand. People often cannot cope with the work pressures and they are unable to strike a balance between work life and personal life. They are exposed to stress and tension for long periods which may manifest in the form of many ailments like hypertension, high/low blood pressure, insomnia, depression, backaches, migraine, spondylitis, etc. This in turn results in overall decrease in their efficiency and productivity. Yoga is the answer for healing stress among working men and women. This all-in-one formula acts as a soothing agent and is fast growing on the popularity charts. The secret to never-ending reserves of energy and to complete wellness of the body, mind, and soul, lies in the ancient practice of Yoga. Is yoga good for health? Definitely yes! ASANA Tadasana (Mountain Pose): Although it might be very simple, you should never underestimate the power of a good standing posture.
