How Yoga asanas can help you stay cheerful
India TodayAccording to yogic philosophy, happiness, or blissfulness, is the natural state of being. For example, when the brain becomes overloaded with emotions, the stress is deposited in the lower part of the body—in the psoas muscle, which connects the lower back to the pelvis, and is instrumental in walking, as well as the groin area. Virat Bhadrasana Performing this asana allows a person to release the tension deposited in the groin, which can prevent a person from natural postures like sitting because of stress on the sacral and lumbar regions of the spine. Parivrtta Hasta Paschimottan This asana helps to strengthen weak posterior knees along with the lower back, making these regions well-nourished. Bal Halasana Hips never lie, and they are often the stiffest part of the body, as modern lifestyles often involve extended periods of sitting.
