These yoga poses should be practiced daily under the guidance of certified yoga trainers for better results.

“It has been observed that the coronavirus pandemic and the need to stay indoors have disrupted our fitness regimes while increasing anxiety disorders and panic attacks. Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals’ ongoing online yoga sessions help people stay healthy, fit and calm in such unprecedented times. Stress management significantly improves the quality of a life. Both physical poses (yogasana) and breathing exercises (pranayama) play an essential role in maintaining overall health.

Asana imparts strength and flexibility and strengthens the muscles. Breathing exercises lengthen the duration of inhalation, exhalation and the retention of breath. However, incorrect practice can end up exacerbating the stress. So, it is vitally important that you practice stress management techniques under the right tutelage and guidance,” said Mr Probal Ghosal, Chairman, Board of Directors, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals.

Besides the virtual yoga session, the Ujala Cygnus group of hospitals also organized an online yoga contest, where the participants need to click their selfie while performing yoga and upload the  pictures by tagging the twitter handle of the hospital group and their five friends.

“As a healthcare provider, we have a reputation of providing highly affordable care without compromising on quality. Stress and anxiety are increasingly becoming a concern in today’s day and age. It can be an uphill battle to try and combat the effects of external factors on our mental health and well-being.

Therefore, it’s essential that we practice yoga regularly as the various breathing exercises stimulate a transformation in the body and mind, whereas, mantras are an effective way to release your emotions. Continuous practice of yoga in daily life will give you life-altering experiences,” said Dr Shuchin Bajaj, Founder & Director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals.
