In today’s fast-paced life, stress has become a part of most people’s lives, even unintentionally. Increased stress not only makes a person mentally but also physically ill. Many people use anti-depression pills to relieve stress. Their prolonged intake can sometimes cause harm to a person’s health. In such a situation, yoga can prove to be very beneficial in getting rid of stress, anxiety and depression. Recently, a study jointly conducted by the Department of Anatomy and Psychiatry at AIIMS Delhi has shown that anti-depressant medicines can provide only 20 to 30 percent relief from the problem, while regular Surya Namaskar and some other exercises can relieve the problem. Yogasana can reduce depression by 60 to 70 percent. Let us know which 3 yoga asanas performed daily can relieve you from depression and anxiety.
These yoga asanas can relieve depression and anxiety.
Supta Veerasana-
While performing Supta Veerasana, apart from the speed of breathing, the balance of the body is also kept in mind. By doing this asana, the nerves of the brain are relieved and the body becomes flexible and strong. To do this asana, first bend the left knee and place the foot on the ground, or you can stretch the left leg and bend the foot. After this, while bending, rest the elbow and the part between the wrist and elbow on the ground. After this, come out in the manner suggested for Virasana, then repeat it by taking the left leg back.
Adhomukh Svanasana-
Adho Mukha Svanasana is also called the Downward Facing Dog Pose in English. Apart from relieving depression, it also keeps the mind calm. This is a gentle inverted asana that helps keep the back relaxed, shoulders, arms, and legs strong, along with relieving problems like headache by stimulating blood flow to the brain. To do Adho Mukha Svanasana, first of all, get on your knees and place your hands a little in front of your shoulders. After this, as you exhale, lift your knees and move your hips up and back. Now keep your knees slightly bent and press the back of your thighs towards the wall behind you. While doing this, relax your neck and place your head between your upper arms. Try to stay in this pose for about 5 minutes.
