Mental benefits of yoga

 

Due to the meditative aspects in the practice of poses and single-pointed concentration in mediation, yoga also functions as a mental discipline.

 

Yoga’s ability to bring stillness to the mind has a physiological basis. Anxiety leads to fight-or-flight response in the body which results in specific physiological reactions, such as the release of hormones in particular adrenaline, which triggers shallow breathing, muscle tension and rapid heartbeat. Yoga interrupts this mechanism by calming a busy over stimulated mind, providing stillness and stability.
