Sadhana Om gives us helpful tools to maintain overall well-being

In this uncertain present time, being stressed is a common condition as we are faced with an unknown threat and collective psychological distress that can affect our autonomic, cardiovascular and immune system.

Right now, as you read this there’s so much happening inside you, you are reading, you are blinking, you are breathing, digesting food that you have eaten and thousands of cells that are fighting invaders and infections. That is our immune system working 24×7 to save us from infections that are going around.

There are lymph nodes where this fighting happens and lymphatic fluid that takes the debris away from the cells.

These lymph nodes mainly spread around the neck, armpits, chest and pelvis and require movement for the fluid to move around the body.

Yoga Asanas and breathing practices not only help move this lymphatic fluid but also remove toxins and blockages, strengthens our respiratory system, supply fresh oxygenated blood and prana to all our organs.
Mindful movements and postures synchronized with the steady breath help to calm the mind and activate the parasympathetic nervous system which is the state of rest and rejuvenation.

Improved digestion, better sleep, a clear mind, strong immunity and resilience are gifts that follow once one cultivates a regular Yoga practice.

A good workout releases endorphin but may make you tired and drained by the end of it, whereas a good Yoga practice fills you with new vital energy like recharging the batteries. It need not be a rigorous practice to provide these benefits, I’m sharing simple practices that can be followed by everyone and anyone to reset, reengineer and recalibrate.
