IMPORTANCE OF YOGA DURING THIS PANDEMIC
Yoga, is a word that became popular across the world in the last few years. Yoga is not only beneficial for the body but also for the mind. It helps to improve blood flow and helps in building mind clarity. For ages, yoga was known to be beneficial for our physical & mental health. It not only help us to stay calm but also help us to lose weight.
During this ongoing coronavirus pandemic, when we are all bound to live a restricted life under the constant fear of infection risks, it is natural for anyone to develop anxiety. The continuous flow of negative news, the inadequacy of daily resources, everything is adding to this growing anxiety and depression. Being confined at home for such long periods of time, can be mentally challenging for us. When our mind is flooded with the uncertainty of the future, we often experience sleepless nights causing fatigue. Many of us are unable to relax our mind during this time thereby increasing the stress on our minds.
During this time, it is important to understand that mental health is very important for survival. To help with this growing level of anxiety and depression, we must lead a healthy lifestyle, stay connected to our loved ones, and practice yoga at home. Through this Webinar we can understand the importance of Yoga. Acharya Shri Balasubramaniam sir said about different types of Asanas such as Ardhameludandasanam, Poornameludandasanam, Ardhachakrasanam, Budhanasanam etc. He told about the importance of balancing pranayama during this pandemic.
