How does Yoga help a person cope with stress?
Books have been written on this very subject and I would suggest reading one if you are looking for the big picture. In short, Hatha Yoga has a combination of postures, breathing techniques, relaxation techniques, and meditation – which help to release the muscular tension created during our daily lives. This muscular tension creates head aches, back aches, hypertension, chest pains, and many more ailments. Yoga is a natural way to help your body and mind deal with this daily tension, which becomes stress.
