So resorting to practices that do not harm the body in the long run is the best way to move forward.
Aside from the physical benefits, one of the best benefits of yoga is how it helps a person manage stress, which is known to have devastating effects on the body and mind. Yoga is something that helps you cool down by calming both your mind and body. This can help you relax and manage stress and anxiety while also boosting your immunity.
For people who have to experience stress on a daily basis, it can have an effect in your brain causing migraines and headaches. Yoga can further increase your blood flow so freshly oxygenated blood can reach every part of the body reducing all the pain and pressure on the nerves. This will in turn purify the system which helps in getting more oxygen to your cells.
If you have a nagging boss, you are probably facing stress and anxiety on a daily basis. If this is continued for longer periods of time it can lead to fatal consequences.

Studies have found that yoga practice lowers the resting heart rate, increases endurance and can improve your maximum uptake of oxygen during exercise. So, there is literally no con in adopting yoga into your daily routine!
One study has also found that a regular practice of yoga can help you fight depression altogether making you happier than ever! Isn’t that what everyone wants?
