Stress is not something one can avoid completely but with yoga we can learn how to reduce the impacts
            of stressful situations and set ourselves up for a much happier and healthier life. Practicing yoga builds our
            ability to be calm, focused, balanced and relaxed.

























            Meditation
            Meditation is one of the most popular ways to relieve stress. It is
            a technique to get centered when we are carried away by
            emotional stress. Meditation involves sitting in a relaxed position
            and focusing our mind on one thought for five to twenty minutes
            without any distraction. Meditation technique stops  mind  to
            deviate from any thought that comes in between the process.

            we  go on vacations,  we  generally tend  to forget  our
            work  load and  consequently  spend dedicated  quality
            time with our friends and relatives leading to happier
            and stress free time.
