Yoga can help you relieve stress

Fun fact: yoga is 5,000 years old.

With finals coming up, stress can hit an all time high. Most people try so hard to keep stress to a minimum but end up crying on their bed after cramming their brain with knowledge.

Many people try to use Google to help with their stress. After typing in “what can help with stress,” Google gives you 1,670,000 answers in 0.49 seconds. So how do you know which one to pick out of all these options?

I found that, out of a lot of options, yoga helps the best. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines physical poses, controlled breathing and meditation or relaxation. Yoga may help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and lower your heart rate.”

There are many types of yoga. For example hot yoga, hatha yoga and much more. If you don’t like one yoga, dont give up, because there are many more options.

There are 12 types of yoga, and each one reduces stress.

Where can you go to do yoga near us?

A short drive is Sumits Hot Yoga St. Louis, Valley Yoga in Chesterfield, A Journey Inward and many more.

All of these places provide many classes throughout the day to help with your busy schedule.

Some popular yoga is:

Hatha Yoga– which is described as all of the yoga practices in one.

Kundalini Yoga– is a yoga that focuses on poses and breathing.

Ashtanga Yoga– this yoga is for the more advanced and is more challenging and well-structured.

Hot and Bikram Yoga– is yoga in a room that’s around 95-100 degrees and 40 percent humidity.

Those are a few of the most popular types of yoga. Yoga can help with many other things besides stress. Yoga can help you with reducing depression, hypertension, keeping a healthy heart, controlling diabetes and relieving back pain.

If stress is overloading you, you should give yoga a go.
