Yoga Gives Sub-Conscious Training to do Deal with Stress

We are always facing difficult situations which impart stress to our mind. Particularly the situation where we have to have a difficult conversation with someone we love is really hard. We feel really miserable and trapped and feel that the person may get hurt. Such kinds of situations are regularly happening in our lives and more so with fast paced modern lifestyle.

Yoga trains our mind to be aware of self and be comfortable with feelings. It puts the practice of calmness deep in our brain which is called the sub-conscious. In the process it teaches to be friend with self and others without having too much of strong feelings, which are not good for health. The same is taught at Yoga teacher training courses Rishikesh at Ojashvi Yogashala.

There are many things that are taught in the 200 hours, 300 hours and 500 hours course. Let us take a look at specific poses which help to train our minds to deal with stress. The warrior 2 pose can hep you when you are sitting with a friend to tell something which is not easy. Just taking the ten breaths helps as revealed by recent scientific study.

Generally the image of yoga is to relax on the yoga mat and do some difficult poses. But that is not the full picture and is quite incomplete. Yoga is a long term training of the mind and body to respond to stressful situations. We actively train our mind and body to relax in any kind of situation. The practice of yoga reorients the stress response to a learned response. In general cases the breathing picks up pace when faced by stress and yoga trains to slow down the breathing thereby removing the harmful; effects of sudden rush of adrenalin.

So, you can learn to give a calm response to an angry boss, be calm in your fight with spouse and be very relaxed when faced with extreme financial problems. Yoga teaches us to be calm and that is indeed the best response to stress. Meditation also helps to train the mind and putting the calmness in habit by detaching from the material world. That is the ultimate goal of yoga practice.
