Amare Global, also known as The Mental Wellness Company for
its unique nutraceutical products that aim to improve many aspects of mental
wellness, promotes yoga not only as an effective way to get a leaner physique
but also for its benefits to mental health. The practice can promote
psychological and emotional healing and help resolve issues with
self-confidence, as well as mental health issues such as anxiety and
depression. This is because yoga is a psychology, helping those who practice it
work with the nature of the mind, how emotions live in the body, and how they
affect behavior and the mind.
Here are some of the ways yoga benefits your mental health:
It helps build your sense of self
Yoga allows you to know yourself on a deeper level, letting
you cultivate self-trust and a more positive body image. Your unconscious mind
reminds you that you are worthy of the time and effort you devote to yourself,
thus letting you build self-confidence and develop a healthy, balanced ego.
Yoga moves you from the sympathetic nervous system to the
parasympathetic nervous system
Practicing yoga regularly takes you from a flight-or-fight
mindset to a rest-and-digest one, because you are less anxious and more
relaxed. This can be attributed to the deep breathing techniques incorporated
with it, which calms your nervous system and lets you enter a state of
relaxation that is conducive for meditation.
It makes you aware of your shadow qualities
The yoking of solar and lunar, or light and dark in yoga
allows you to recognize qualities that you may not be aware of, thus promoting
mindfulness. Places in your body where you hold tension, tightness, and knots
of energy are typically where you store psychological or emotional energy.
Amare Global says there are certain postures that can help release this energy,
so you don’t just get rid of the physical pain, you also do away with the
emotional baggage that comes with it.
