Yogic approach to Stress

Stress is a part of our daily life and human beings are designed to experience and react to it. Stress can be positive as it gears the body into action, keeping us alert and motivated, but it starts to become negative when change and challenges continue without relief or coping mechanisms.

Modern life offers many burdens ancient men did not dream of and they live in a state of intense anxiety.

Indian school of thought has dealt with human psychology thousands of years ago and provided practical solutions. Even though our challenges in the modern world are different than before, our reaction is still the same. Yoga which is one of the 6 orthodox Indian philosophies, gives us the root cause of human problems and ways and means to deal with them without getting distressed. Although the goal of yoga is not merely good physical health it is the side benefit of this beautiful science.
