Yoga Against Stress

In modern society, it’s unlikely there’s a person who doesn’t feel stress—and for every third person, stress becomes a prolonged form, the most destructive for the body. This book will show you how, using proper breathing and various yoga techniques, to learn to fight the main scourge of our society and find harmony in life.

Is this justified from a scientific standpoint? We take on the task of proving that it is—backed by a detailed overview of the anatomy and physiology of those systems and organs that breathing affects in this context. In addition to theory, there will be practice: a detailed description of breathing techniques, simple and effective ways to enter a meditative state, and sets of asanas to support immunity and to achieve different emotional states. To achieve harmony, the practical part of the book must not only be listened to, but also performed!
