In our daily lives, we can encounter many internal and external
stressors. When stress events occur this activates the sympathetic
nervous system which mobilizes the body for immediate action possibly ending in
state of exhaustion.
Yoga offers natural
therapy for stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the part
of our nervous system responsible for relaxation. When you activate the
parasympathetic part of your nervous system you activate its natural cool-down
effects and stop the cycle of chronic stress.
A typical yoga class
consists of deep breathing, gentle stretching, building strength and balance,
quieting the mind and relaxation.
