During times of stress, several yogic practices can be helpful: meditation, restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and yin yoga.
By practicing meditation regularly, even for just 10 minutes per day, we can cultivate a sense of calm and relaxation by observing our thoughts and emotions without judgement, thus reducing the negative effects of stress.
Restorative yoga is a gentle more passive form of yoga that utilises props to support the body in specific relaxing poses. It promotes the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the production of stress hormones and inducing a state of calmness.
Yoga nidra, often referred to as yogic sleep, guides us into a state of conscious deep relaxation. This practice helps manage stress by reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of inner peace.
Yin yoga involves holding passive poses for an extended duration, targeting the release of deep connective tissues and joints. By gently stressing the deep tissues, the practice stimulates the relaxation response, relieves physical tension, calms the nervous system and promotes emotional balance.
