In today’s fast-paced life, stress often creeps in unnoticed, leaving us drained and restless.
Yoga offers a natural, quick, and effective way to calm the mind, ease tension, and restore balance. Here are seven simple poses you can try anytime for instant relief.
Child’s Pose (Balasana): Kneel on the floor, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward. This gentle pose relaxes the spine and encourages deep breathing.
Cat-Cow Pose (Marjariasana-Bitilasana): Flow between arching your back (Cat) and dropping your belly (Cow) with each breath. It eases back tension and boosts circulation.
Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana): Sit with legs straight, bend forward, and reach for your toes. A soothing stretch that calms the mind and reduces anxiety.
Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani): Lie on your back and rest your legs against a wall. This pose soothes the nervous system, reduces fatigue, and improves blood flow.
Corpse Pose (Shavasana): Lie flat on your back with arms relaxed. Focus on slow breathing to release tension and restore mental clarity.
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): Lie on your back, bend knees, and lift hips upward. This energizing pose opens the chest, relieves fatigue, and reduces stress.
Easy Pose with Deep Breathing (Sukhasana): Sit cross-legged with a straight spine, close your eyes, and take slow breaths. A simple yet powerful way to calm the mind.
