how yoga reduces stress ?

Yoga can help reduce stress because it promotes relaxation, which is the natural opposite of stress. Yoga can benefit three aspects of ourselves that are often affected by stress: our body, mind, and breathing. You don’t have to wait to feel stressed out to do yoga, and you shouldn’t!

When your mind is constantly occupied by work, family and other pressures, you are sure to feel frustrated, exhausted, irritable or sad.  But yoga puts you in a deep state of relaxation, psychologically. You focus on your breathing, turning attention away from the causes of stress and thereby calming your mind. It essentially gives your brain cells a break from continuous exertion.
