The psychological benefits of yoga
Yoga is a very rich teaching that can mean many things: life philosophy, physical practice, meditative and spiritual exercises, discover the main disciplines of yoga.
ASANAS OR YOGA POSTURES
Asanas is simply the Sanskrit word for physical physical postures of yoga. You can find this word in the name of different postures such as “Balasana” meaning “child’s posture” or “Utkatasana”: “the fierce posture”. There are several tens of thousands of asanas in the world. Enough to practice a large number of postures on a daily basis!
Pranayama or breathing exercises
Yoga helps to improve physical health and well-being through breathing and prayama is the right word to describe this control of the breath. Literally “prana” is the breath and “yama” means control, which is why the different breathing exercises in yoga are called “pranayamas”. Among these different exercises you will find the breathing ujjayi which consists of a series of inhalations and exhalations through the nose while trying to close the throat. Alternate breathing is another exercise where you breathe in through one nostril and out through another to balance the body. Breathing exercises are often linked to the anti-stress and anti-anxiety nature of yoga.
The Kriya or purification techniques
Kriya means “work” and “action” and refers to the purification exercises of the body. Among these techniques is the Jala netiA nasal wash, where water is run through one nostril and out the other to prevent colds. The NauliChurning the belly is also part of these physical techniques. You have certainly already seen a yogi take a deep breath so that his abdominal muscles are drawn towards his spine in order to leave only a very thin belly: well it is the nauli! A kriya for massage the organs and help maintain good health.
The mantras or sacred chants
In Sanskrit a mantra is a chant chanted before or after a yoga class. The mantras provoke vibrations which allow to harmonize the energy centers of the body, the chakrasand the thousands of conduits linked to these centers, the nadis.
Meditation
Meditation comes from the word “meditare” which means “to contemplate”. In this practice, the objective is to contemplate one’s mind and totrain to free yourself from negative thoughts so that they no longer have any control over his life and regain his self-confidence. To prevent the mind from being carried away by these thoughts, meditation will be an activity to letting go where negativity will not be attached.

Yoga practice to reduce stress and anxiety
It is well known that yoga allows us to learn to refocus on what is important in order to enjoy the present moment and simply let go. This reconnection is perfect for releasing accumulated tensions and for understand the future. Yoga is therefore an anti-stress, whose effects are real saviors for the anxious of everyday life.
Yoga allows us to refocus on what is important, which helps us make choices towards a healthier life. These lifestyle choices reduce the internal negativity of the practitioners and thus negative behaviors, such as overeating in the face of strong emotions, which are sources of unhappiness, gradually disappear.
Negative behaviors that can be gradually eliminated through the practice of yoga include: reducing alcohol consumption, stopping smoking, unhealthy eating, etc. And all this with the sole purpose of lead to a happy life.

The benefits of yoga on sleep
Obviously the benefits of yoga on sleep are related to our previous point on the anti-stress effect of the practice. Yoga relaxes physically and mentally. A session can be very relaxing or very dynamic, which in both cases helps to enter a sleep phase.
Indeed, the sessions where physical sequences are performed promote the production of endorphins, hormones released after 20 to 30 minutes, usually during moments of physical effort and act on the pain. They also create a feeling of relaxation and well-being, which necessarily helps to enter a sleep phase. During a more gentle yoga session, the relaxation of the body soothes the mind and allows for a deep sleep!
Yoga to increase your joy of living
Yoga makes you realize that happiness depends only on oneself.
We often tend to think that the set of external events is the determining combination of our inner joy. This is not the case, the practice of yoga makes us understand that happiness is based on the ability to soothe and free the mind. To take and hold your whole being by the hand.
