Corporate Programs for Stress Management

The problem of work stress is escalating globally, affecting the physical and mental well-being of workers. The perception of stress varies from person to person, as what one individual may perceive as stressful, another might see as a challenge. The experience of work-related stress is influenced by factors such as the nature of the job, the individual’s psychological characteristics, and additional elements like personal life and overall health.

Yoga For Stress Management

As people increasingly discover the physical and mental advantages of yoga, its popularity continues to soar. Yoga plays a significant role in providing stress relief. Many individuals are inclined towards establishing their own yoga practice as a way to proactively address and alleviate stress, which is a common aspiration among those pursuing personal growth and self-improvement. However, obtaining expert guidance from a qualified yoga instructor is essential to maximize the effectiveness of stress management techniques and ensure optimal results.

“Vimana Yatri Saral Yoga”

In the advent of celebrating the International Day of Yoga, we have specially devised a Yoga module nomenclated as “Vimana Yatri Saral Yoga”. It is a 10 minutes yoga module which comprises of following practices:

1. Simple Loosening Practices of major joints of the body

2. Yogic Stretches in Sitting Postures

3. Instant Relaxation Technique

4. Bhramari Pranayama

5. Nadi Shuddhi Pranayama

It’s a combination of yoga practices at physical and mental level and it addresses the discomfort and stress an individual has to undergo before and during travel by airplanes. The consequences of frequent travel, as researchers say, can be on the physiological; psychological and emotional state of an individual

Physiological problems - Arise due to changes in Circadian rhythm,

• Fatigue and gastrointestinal complaints,

• Reduced immunity,

• Increased risk of stroke or heart attack

Psychological and emotional impact-

• Stress can set in while preparing and making arrangements at home and work before trips.

• Relationships with family, friends and community can also be damaged by excessive travel

• Creates an imbalance in domestic duties and child care.

Practicing Yoga therefore helps in reducing the impact of the above further enabling the equanimity at mind body level.

Prehypertension: Are You at Risk?

Prehypertension serves as an indicator that you may develop high blood pressure in the future. Having high blood pressure raises your chances of experiencing heart attacks, strokes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and kidney failure. Although there is no cure for high blood pressure, it can be managed through dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and medication. More than 50% of adults aged 18 and above have either prehypertension or hypertension, which is determined by the average of two or more blood pressure readings taken during two or more medical appointments. There are numerous factors that can contribute to elevated blood pressure, such as a lack of physical activity, an unhealthy diet, being overweight, smoking, experiencing stress, having a family history of hypertension, and various other influences.

Can Yoga Reduce Blood Pressure?

In addition to maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise, incorporating yoga into your routine can serve as a natural and safe approach to managing high blood pressure. Yoga offers a multitude of advantages for your physical well-being and overall health. It is crucial not to disregard prolonged high blood pressure and instead seek medical advice from a doctor.

Sub Clinical Hypothyroidism & PCOS

Sub Clinical Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism, also referred to as underactive thyroid, occurs when the thyroid gland produces an insufficient amount of thyroid hormone. In its early stages, this condition may not manifest noticeable symptoms. However, if left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to various health issues, such as elevated cholesterol levels and heart problems. It is important to address this condition to prevent further complications.

Yoga for Hypothyroidism- Yoga provides a wide range of benefits that contribute to improved physical health and overall well-being. It has the ability to restore equilibrium to the body's energy levels, enhance flexibility, and reduce stress. Although a connection has been observed between stress and hypothyroidism, certain yoga poses are believed to have a balancing impact on the thyroid gland, regardless of whether it is functioning inadequately or excessively. These poses are thought to promote harmony within the thyroid gland. By incorporating yoga into your routine, you can potentially experience these positive effects on thyroid health and achieve a greater sense of balance. When incorporating yoga into your routine to address specific health concerns, it is important to seek expert guidance for optimal well-being outcomes.

PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that typically occurs during the reproductive years. One of the primary symptoms of PCOS is irregular or infrequent menstrual periods. Alternatively, some individuals with PCOS may experience prolonged periods. PCOS is also characterized by an excess of androgen hormone in the body. In PCOS, multiple small fluid-filled sacs, known as cysts, develop along the outer edge of the ovaries. These cysts contain immature eggs, referred to as follicles, which fail to be released regularly during ovulation

The relationship between PCOS and pregnancy is of utmost importance, as PCOS can greatly impact fertility, increase the likelihood of pregnancy complications, and elevate the risk of miscarriages.To effectively manage the symptoms of PCOS, it is crucial to adopt a healthy lifestyle, and incorporating yoga into your routine can be beneficial. Yoga serves as a completely natural remedy for addressing the health challenges associated with PCOS, such as obesity, stress, and hormonal imbalance. By engaging in yoga specifically tailored for PCOS, you can enhance your overall well-being, reduce stress levels, promote weight loss, and restore hormonal balance in a gentle and holistic manner.
