YOGA- fit from home



Change is the law of nature. COVID-19 has brought unexpected and unavoidable changes in our life. Man is a social animal, but COVID-19 forced him to act individually. Every coin has its two faces in the same manner if the culture of work from home is like a silver lining in the dark cloud of Corona crisis then the improper routine of the day has also brought us the grey sky of back pain, obesity, eye strain, and several other mental health problems.

Improper routine and avoiding physical activity from months can gradually lead to several health problems at home like: -

 

Posture deformities: - All comfort means free from chair and desk job amid work from home or study from home that leads to posture deformities. Initially, we don’t realize it under our comfort but gradually symptoms appear like: - back pain, muscle cramps, or strains.

Obesity: - Obesity is a condition in which the amount of fat in the body increases to a very large extent. There are many causes of obesity such as excessive food, lack of physical exercise, thyroid, hereditary.

Hypertension: -  Staying at one place all the time, not going out for refreshment of mind, the tension of several things like job, and not performing physical activity leads to Hypertension and sometimes Panic attacks.

 So, how can a person stay fit in this time of social distancing? If we can work from home then, why can’t we stay ‘fit from home’?

 

The only solution to all the problems is ‘YOGA’ which needs no specific place, center, or class to perform. All you need is an empty place and a mat and a bit of knowledge to perform correct asanas for your body.

 


Let’s brief ourselves with the term Yoga and asanas
