Many people find it difficult to believe that performing yoga may help you not only with your physical health but also with your mental health. Yoga has a mysterious way of calming you down and letting you let go of whatever is holding you back in order for you to feel free. A big justification for this might be that when you indulge in yoga, you tend to focus on it so much because the practice needs concentration that you appear to let go. Today let’s take a look at some yoga poses that relieve stress and anxiety.

Balasana

This wonderful asana has the ability to relax your mind, relieve tension in the back of your head and shoulders and fully calm you down.

Viparita Karani

Because your legs are vertically resting on a wall, it sends a sensation of relaxation throughout your body and relieves stress.

Marjaryasana-Bitilasana

This excellent posture will need you to switch between arching and rounding your back. It can make you more flexible, ease spinal tension and create a more rhythmic breath that can help calm the nervous system.

Uttanasana

When you practise this asana, the stress that has built up in the back of your neck, shoulders and back will have an easy way out, freeing you of stress and promoting a sense of innate calmness.

Setu Bandhasana

It can not only relieve anxiety and stress, but it can also calm your mind while making you feel a lot better about your surroundings.
