Download or read book Yoga to Decrease Stress and Anxiety written by Christine Rowland and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In health care professionals who suffer from anxiety and stress, coping strategies such as yoga can decrease stress and anxiety. Health care professionals have demanding, high stress professions and are subjected to emotional distress which if not effectively managed, can lead to mental and physical illnesses, burnout, compassion fatigue, and exiting the health care profession (Cutliff and Jones, 2009). Health care workers need self-preserving strategies to maintain good emotional health and preserve their well-being. According to Ross, most people who practice yoga believe that their health is improved from practicing yoga (Ross, 2013). Development of resiliency is beneficial to health care professionals, enabling them to give the best possible care to the patients they serve. Stress and anxiety can affect cognition, behaviors, and emotions. Yoga is a low cost, portable, convenient way to help build resiliency. The author of this report suggests enlisting 75 individuals to participate in a two week trial of yoga in an attempt to help them decrease their levels of stress and anxiety. Volunteer yoga instructors will teach yoga classes and the participants will journal how they feel on the days they practice yoga both before and after. Volunteers for the trial, volunteer yoga instructors, the director of the wellness center, education department, director of nursing, co-leaders, and the pastor at the Methodist church would all play vital roles. Results will be retrieved from questionnaires distributed to the volunteers pre-trial and post-trial. If found to be valuable, these results could be introduced to orientations, wellness fairs, and yearly workshops that promote health and well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it’s relationships, work, politics, or life in general, we seem to be surrounded by things and people that give us stress. We wake up with it, carry it around with us, and even take it to bed. We know we’re stressed because we experience the telltale symptoms—tension headaches, nervousness, exhaustion, high blood pressure, and lowered immunity. We may try to ignore these symptoms or even cover them up with medications, but over time, this can lead to even more serious medical problems. While it’s easy to blame outside forces, the truth is that within ourselves, we have the power to control, reduce, and even eliminate the stress we feel. For over thirty-five years Meera Patricia Kerr, best-selling author and gifted Yoga instructor, has taught thousands of men, women, and children how to overcome their anxiety and experience greater physical and emotional health. In her new book, Big Yoga for Less Stress, Meera provides a complete program of movements and exercises to combat all the stressors in our lives. Part One of Big Yoga for Less Stress begins with a clear explanation of what Yoga is, what benefits it offers, and how it can be used as an effective tool to reduce stress. The book goes on to provide practical information regarding clothing, mats, and suitable environments, and to emphasize the need to begin with care and avoid initial strains and pains. Part Two offers a wealth of Yoga postures and movements, breathing techniques, and meditations specifically designed to overcome tension and anxiety. In each case, the author explains the technique, details its advantages, and offers clear instructions for its use. Easy-to-follow photographs accompany every exercise, while boxed insets provide further insights into Yoga and explore its many fascinating aspects. If you’re tired of being affected by the pressures of everyday life—and if popping pills doesn’t seem to hold the answer—perhaps it’s time to consider an alternative approach. Used by millions of people around the world, Yoga is a safe and effective way to find the calm and tranquility that is within you.
