Yoga is an extremely ancient, effective meditative, and important part of physical practice. Through yoga, pranayama, and meditation, accumulated stress can be reduced, muscles can be strengthened, and the body’s flexibility can be increased. Through methods of meditation and psychology, yoga calms, stabilizes, and balances your mind, thereby reducing stress, anxiety, and worry. Shirshasana is an important and effective yoga asana, which is done by standing on the head. This asana helps in channelling the energy of the body in the right direction and provides peace and harmony to the mind.
