Reduce Stress with Yoga

10 January 2009 6 Comments

Practicing yoga can do more than relieve stress, it can also impact all of the wear and tear on your body associated with stress. We’ve all experienced the “fight or flight” response to a stressful situation — rapid heart rate, sweating, and increase in blood pressure. Yoga can create a “restorative state” to bring you down from this stressful level and reduce stress hormones released in the body. Chronic stress can cause physical and mental deterioration over time, so reducing stress hormones through yoga is especially important.
