Can’t sleep due to tension? Try this asana before going to bed, your mind will become completely relaxed.

News India Live, Digital Desk: You must have often noticed that when we are under stress, our body automatically starts shrinking, the shoulders bend and the breaths start becoming short. Our body and mind are so deeply interconnected that a right movement of the body can improve your spoiled mood in a moment.

Come, let’s spread our mats today and know about those 3 asanas which remove the ‘stress hormones’ buried in your brain and activate the ‘happy hormones’.

1. Child’s Pose – A lovely dedication
This is my favorite asana to relieve stress. In this you have to sit on your knees and rest your forehead on the ground. This asana makes us feel childlike carefree. When you are in contact with the ground and your eyes are closed, blood circulation to your brain increases and the nervous system calms down. It’s a way of telling yourself—”It’s okay to wait a while.”

2. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) – Open the doors of your heart
Do you remain bent over computer or mobile all day long? This causes stiffness in the area near your chest, which is a major cause of stress. When you look upwards while doing Bhujangasana, your heart center opens. It increases lung capacity and helps you take deeper breaths. Deep breathing means a direct message to the brain that “everything is okay.” This increases your confidence and your mood immediately becomes fresh.

3. Setubandhasana (Bridge Pose) – Remove the burden from the back and mind
Stress often accumulates in our waist and lower neck. When you raise your waist while doing Setubandhasana, it provides great peace to your spine. This asana also improves your digestion, as Ayurveda believes that a bad mood is often related to an upset stomach. It removes fatigue from the body.

A little advice from me:
Do not take yoga as a difficult exercise. Consider it a quality time spent with yourself. It is not necessary that you strike a perfect pose on the first day itself; Just feel how your muscles relax as you stretch.

So the next time you are stressed with office work or confused about household matters, try adopting these asanas for just 5 minutes. Surely, you will feel calmer and happier than ever before. Taking care of yourself is an art, isn’t it?
