People who resolve to learn relaxation techniques for stress could turn to yoga.
Once all the holiday decorations and champagne bottles are cleaned up, people face a new challenge: fulfilling their New Year's resolutions. Among the most common goals are weight loss, healthy eating, learning something new, smoking/drinking cessation and stress reduction. Luckily, yoga is full of relaxation techniques for stress.
"The techniques presented in our classes that emphasize attention on breathing, conscious relaxation, meditation and the deeply relaxing nature of exercise, including stretching, are all conducive to easing stress," said yoga instructor Kathleen DiNatale, as quoted by The Galveston County Daily News.
However, people who make New Year's resolutions need to ask themselves a series of questions to make sure that they haven't made any promises they can't keep, life coach Janet Cohen told the news source:
1. Is this goal something you want, or something you only think you should want?
2. Is this goal yours, or something someone else wants for you?
3. Does the goal have a purpose more important than the result?
4. Do you have to begin January 1, or can you begin later?
5. Do you have people in your life who can support you?
If after all this, you're still keen on stress reduction, then you should check out Dahn Yoga classes! After all, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine said that practitioners may potentially experience improvements in mood and physical fitness.
