If you feel stressed, fatigued or you are dealing with a difficult situation yoga can help you to understand how to work with your own body, breath and mind to feel more energised, calmer and to improve your sense of well-being.
Breath awareness and relaxation techniques help give a sense of control when you feel challenged and research suggests that the practices can help with pain; insomnia and improve mood. Stress hormones can put serious strain on the body along with high blood pressure when under pressure and both are recognised to reduce with relaxation techniques.
The many paths and practices of yoga can provide different ways of seeing yourself and your place in the general scheme of things. Seeing things from new perspectives can rejuvenate the way you relate to yourself, to others and to situations that formerly have seemed insurmountable.
