Yoga helps improve flexibility, stamina and blood circulation. Recent studies have found yoga can help elevate your mood as well. It shoots up the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the chemical that can boost your mood and ebb stress and anxiety.
If you’re putting those extra hours in office this week, here are the five best poses that would keep you pumped and so that you keep going:
Quash back pain
This one should be your best friend for life if you work at the desk. The Spinal Twist cuts the harrowing backache and improves blood circulation, and hip and spine flexibility.
Relax your heart, lessen headache and anxiety
The Bridge Pose relaxes your heart and soothes headaches. It also takes care of depression, anxiety and insomnia. Best if your worries at work won’t let you sleep.
Bust fat and increase stamina
The Boat Pose strengthens the core and busts belly fat. This way it improves mental and physical stamina. It also relieves stress so that you always feel happy and relaxed.

Inhale. Exhale. Relax.
Meditation is one of the best stress relievers in the planet. It easy and improves your concentration and confidence so that you focus on your work goals and keep pushing yourself to do better. This one also helps tackle the evil diabetes.
The side benefits of Yoga are many. A consistent routine can make you look younger and happier as daily practice cleans your internal toxins and leaves you rejuvenated. Studies suggest it can also improve your love connection and help ensure an amazing time in bed. Satisfied couples since 200 B.C. can vouch for that *wink*.
