muscle relaxation, and increase breathing capacity.

Yoga Techniques:

All branches of yoga use three major techniques:

 Breathing: In yoga, breath work is known as pranayama which increases
blood flow and reduces oxygen consumption. That brings more oxygen to
your brain, and improves the way your body uses oxygen. Breathing
exercises can also increase how much air you draw into your lungs.
Getting lots of air into your lungs helps you feel alert and focused.

 Asanas (postures): Provide a gentle-to-intense workout that boosts
strength, flexibility, and balance.

 Meditation: Quiets the mind and causes both physical and emotional
relaxation, which helps reduce blood pressure, chronic pain, anxiety, and
cholesterol levels.
