Mental health is as essential for achieving overall physical well-being. In the modern lifestyle, we often surrender ourselves to unhealthy food habits, an unorganised routine, and an exhausted office environment. Those unhealthy habits of eating, unbalanced work, overwork stress, and everything else harm the present and threaten the future. With rising work pressure, people often deal with anxiety and stress, leading them to a dark hole of depression. Is there any solution that exists? Well, yes! Yoga, the ancient method of physical and mental exercise which elevates mental health, is the perfect way to redesign our imperfect life.
An unhealthy mental condition is not limited to the person’s problem, directly or indirectly; whoever deals with the person willingly or unwillingly is affected by the situation. So, Taking care of mental health is considered essential and unavoidable.
Now is the time to enlighten some benefits of yoga in rejuvenating mental health.
Benefits of Yoga in Mental Wellness:
“Just breath in and breath out.”
That’s all? Well, not exactly. In yoga, there is no single way but multiple ways.
Physical exercise adds refreshment to your physical health, maintaining the body fit and active. But some yogasanas are highly effective in boosting mental health. Stress, anxiety, depression, & anything you relate to an unhealthy mind, will help you reduce them and will fill your life with peace.

Now, you’re aware that yoga helps you improve mental health. It’s time to talk about some amazing and easy yoga poses to start with.
Balasna (Child Pose):
This yoga pose comes with an immense number of benefits for your physical and mental health.
- Releases any tension
- Improves sleep
- Alleviates the stress
- Reduces feelings of anxiety
Now that you know its benefits learn how to do child pose or Balasana. To do Balasana, you need to follow some easy steps:
- Kneel and sit on your hips on the floor. Your toes should be in touch with one another.
- Inhale while placing your knees hip-width apart.
- Exhale as you bend forward as well as stretch your arms straight.
- Maintain this posture for two to three minutes.
- Finally, take a leisurely breath in and return to the beginning posture.
Sukhasana (Easy Pose):
‘Sukh’ – the word stands for happiness, ease, or bliss. So, if you practice this yoga every day, it will bring stability and wellness to your mind.
- Helps to improve concentration
- Helps in reducing stress & anxiety
- Relaxes the mind and body
- Improves blood circulating
From the above list of benefits of Sukhasana, you can understand how beneficial this asana could be. So, let’s start your practice by following the exact steps:
- Sit with your legs extending in front of you, straight forward.
- Underneath the right thigh, fold the left leg. Then, with the right foot beneath the left thigh, do the same with the left.
- Maintain a comfortable erect posture for your head, neck, and spine.
- Rest your hands on your knees or lap, or you can join your two palms in the ‘namaskar’ position (shown in the image). Relax every muscle in your body. Close your eyes for a moment.
Padmasana (Lotus Pose):
Padmasana is one of the most beneficial poses that helps correct your posture and works on inner energy. Let’s find out what are those other benefits of padmasana improve the health of your brain.
- Boosts energy levels
- Increases awareness
- Boosts respiration
- Help in fighting insomnia
The benefits of padmasana are not limited to mental health but also add positive changes in physical fitness.
You may wonder how to do padmasana to reactivate the energy within and receive the maximum advantage of this yoga pose. Here’s is the proper guide:
- Sit with your legs on the floor or a mat, keeping your spine straight.
- Place the right knee on the left thigh by bending it. Make sure your feet’s soles point upward and your heel is near your abdomen.
- Place your hands on your knees in a mudra pose with both legs crossed and feet on opposing thighs.
- Maintain a straight spine and a straight head. Continue to take long, soft breaths in and out.
Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend Pose):
This standing yoga pose might seem hard to begin with. However, keeping the asana out of the list is challenging because of its benefits on mental health. It is highly effective for the health of your mind.
- De-stresses mind
- Provides calmness
- Reduces anxiety & panic
- Eliminates fatigue
If you’re going through any mental trauma, start practising this yoga. Now, follow the steps to get mental peace:
- Start with Tadasana (Mountain Pose), with your hands at your hips, at the front of the mat.
- Hinge from the hips, not the lower back, by bending your knees slightly and folding your body over your legs.
- Your hands may land on the ground adjacent to your feet or in front of you. Inhale and open your chest to lengthen your spine.
- After exhaling, slowly and without excessive extension, straighten both legs. As you gently spiral your inner thighs backwards, lift your kneecaps.
- Extend your torso down on an exhale without rounding your back. Bend your shoulders down your back toward your hips while lengthening your neck and extending the crown of your head toward the ground.
Savasana (Corpse Pose):
Easy is what you can relate with savasana or corpse position. It helps in relaxing the body and mind. Savasana is always advised to conclude a yoga session since it will relax the body after a rigorous practice. We’ve listed some significant benefits of savasana below:
- Calms the central nervous system
- Improve immune systems
- Boosts consciousness
- Reduces headache, stress, & anxiety
As already mentioned, this is the easiest of all yogasana. Let’s explain how to do savasana:
- Lie on your back, knees straight and arms at your sides.
- Allow your feet to fall into place and lay your palms facing up naturally.
- Close your eyes for a moment. Take a deep breath and relax.
- Bring your attention to the peaceful music around you if your mind starts to stray. And then focus on your breathing.
On the last note,
These five yoga poses are good for mental wellness and help balance work and life. These beginner poses are easy and convenient. It is always recommended to practice yogasana in the morning for better results. However, there are a few hatha yoga, including advanced breathing techniques to improve your body and mind. Here are some advanced yogasana for experts for a healthier mind.

There is a wide variety of schools of yoga, practices, and goals[2] in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism,[3][4][5] and traditional and modern yoga is practiced worldwide.

TAREK ELAGAMY
3 years agoIf you’ve done your “downward dog” yoga pose today, you’re probably feeling more relaxed. Regardless of your level of yoga expertise, if you’re practicing regularly, you can feel better from head to toe.
Yoga offers physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages. And, if you’re going through an illness, recovering from surgery or living with a chronic condition, yoga can become an integral part of your treatment and potentially hasten healing.
A yoga therapist can work with patients and put together individualized plans that work together with their medical and surgical therapies. That way, yoga can support the healing process and help the person experience symptoms with more centeredness and less distress.
1. Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility.
Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength.
Try it: Tree Pose
Balance on one foot, while holding the other foot to your calf or above the knee (but never on the knee) at a right angle. Try to focus on one spot in front of you, while you balance for one minute.
2. Yoga helps with back pain relief.
Yoga is as good as basic stretching for easing pain and improving mobility in people with lower back pain. The American College of Physicians recommends yoga as a first-line treatment for chronic low back pain.
Try it: Cat-Cow Pose
Get on all fours, placing your palms underneath your shoulders and your knees underneath your hips. First, inhale, as you let your stomach drop down toward the floor. Then, exhale, as you draw your navel toward your spine, arching your spine like a cat stretching.
3. Yoga can ease arthritis symptoms.
Gentle yoga has been shown to ease some of the discomfort of tender, swollen joints for people with arthritis, according to a Johns Hopkins review of 11 recent studies.
4. Yoga benefits heart health.
Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.
Try it: Downward Dog Pose
Get on all fours, then tuck your toes under and bring your sitting bones up, so that you make a triangle shape. Keep a slight bend in your knees, while lengthening your spine and tailbone.
5. Yoga relaxes you, to help you sleep better.
Research shows that a consistent bedtime yoga routine can help you get in the right mindset and prepare your body to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Try It: Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose
Sit with your left side against a wall, then gently turn right and lift your legs up to rest against the wall, keeping your back on the floor and your sitting bones close to the wall. You can remain in this position for 5 to 15 minutes.
6. Yoga can mean more energy and brighter moods.
You may feel increased mental and physical energy, a boost in alertness and enthusiasm, and fewer negative feelings after getting into a routine of practicing yoga.
7. Yoga helps you manage stress.
According to the National Institutes of Health, scientific evidence shows that yoga supports stress management, mental health, mindfulness, healthy eating, weight loss and quality sleep.
Try It: Corpse Pose (Savasana)
Lie down with your limbs gently stretched out, away from the body, with your palms facing up. Try to clear your mind while breathing deeply. You can hold this pose for 5 to 15 minutes.
8. Yoga connects you with a supportive community.
Participating in yoga classes can ease loneliness and provide an environment for group healing and support. Even during one-on-one sessions loneliness is reduced as one is acknowledged as a unique individual, being listened to and participating in the creation of a personalized yoga plan.
9. Yoga promotes better self-care.
just a few steps to great your life and live healthy, let’s just try it.

2 years agoToday’s world and everyday life, with its relentless pace, volatility and unpredictability, shapes the lives of most people, especially in urbanised concentrations of people. It is therefore important to find a way to pause, calm down and regenerate mental and physical energy. Meditation and yoga techniques are ideal for this. Meditation and yoga techniques are ideal for this, as they allow us to step away from everyday life for a moment, take a break, calm our hectic minds and stop our thoughts from racing. At first it may be difficult to stick to a regular schedule, but in fact any time is a good time to practice breath control techniques and specific postures, even during a short break at work, school, etc. In time (when it starts to have a noticeable effect) this will become an integral and natural part of our daily lives.
