Would you like a few yoga techniques to end your stress with yoga; after a long day at work? The first de-stressing technique or Asana is called the Nishpandabhava. The Sanskrit word, Nishpandabhava comes from Nishpanda meaning passive and bhava meaning stance. Put your favorite piece of relaxing music to start.
Just sit reclined against a wall and relax your muscles, begin with your feet, legs, hands, etc. This regulates breathing and helps still the mind, facilitated by the music. The sound will slowly absorb you and your breathing will synchronize to the rhythm of the sound. At this time you will be breathing deeply with your attention focused on the third eye.
Stay in this pose for 10 minutes. This posture helps reduce blood pressure as a result of reduced heart beat. This asana takes your mind into the alpha state of meditation due to reduction of stress hormones in your blood and relaxation of muscles. The next pose, the Shavasana is similar but relaxes the back, too.
Shava means corpse and Asana means a pose. Here you focus on your breathing and relaxing all the muscles in the body. Lie supine on the floor-mat. Take a deep breath and focus on relaxing the toes, the chest, the shoulders, the neck, the chin and jaws, the mouth, the tip of the nose, the space between the eyebrows, the forehead and the mind.
Yogendra Pranayam is of paramount importance. Breath or Vayu is called Prana and the usage is called Ayam. Hence, Pranayam means the correct usage of breath by the body. This technique ensures that all the cells in the body receive oxygen in proper amounts.
Lie flat on your back and bend the knees such that the feet lie at the shoulder’s width; this helps the muscles of the abdomen, chest and back to relax. Place one of your hands on the navel to help you focus attention on your breathing. Do not bloat your stomach but feel your abdomen rise with the deep inhalation. Now exhale and feel your stomach return to its relaxed state.
Now gently pull your stomach muscles, careful that you do not move the chest. These 3 movements help improve the abdominal blood circulation, expand the abdominal cavity and massage the internal organs. Hold these poses in cycles of 10 seconds, each. These Asanas help develop detachment from the world, untangling emotions, gives clarity of mind and deepens ones breathing. Try these steps to help you decide to end your stress with Yoga.
If you want to release your stress with yoga, then start today. Stop putting this off till tomorrow, it will never come.
