What are the benefits? Simply, you will feel good! We all work better when we are relaxed, and our body stays healthier and more resistant to diseases when it is not under stress. So you will feel the benefits at work and outside work too. Why does yoga reduce stress? Yoga works to reduce the stress felt in the body and the mind. When we experience mental stress, the body adopts a tense "fight or flight" reaction. Continuous stress then builds up this tension in areas of the body so even when the original source of stress disappears, the tension remains in the body, which can lead to us feeling stiff, weaken our immune systems, and eventually become a source of stress in itself. Through physical yoga exercises we can release this tension, and yogic meditation helps our mind relax and become more resistant to sources of stress. What to expect from Stress Away: Stress Away teaches simple techniques for stress reduction that can be done at any time, so you can apply them when you need to.
