Yoga Induced Calmness Under Great Pressure

Yoga may be one of the best practice to induce calmness for people who are at the state of constant pressure, some studies suggested

Yoga, the ancient practice for harmonized external and internal body well beings, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement, and gesture..... has been best known for people in the Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

In the study of 13 normal healthy adults to determine the effects of alternate nostril yoga breathing on (a) cerebral hemisphere asymmetry, and (b) changes in the standard EEG bands by assigned the participants into three sessions (a) alternate nostril yoga breathing (ANYB), (b) breath awareness and (c) quiet sitting, on separate days, researchers showed that alternate nostril yoga breathing (ANYB) expressed a higher result in induced calmness through stress and anxiety reduction.


Yoga alternate nostril breathing exercise demonstrated a significant effect to individuals calmness under certain pressure, probably is a result in the settle the mind and body, and emotions and decreased expression of an overactive or worrying mind.

Interestingly, certain posts in the sequence culminating in Padmasana(Lotus Pose) have found to achieve a calm mind stage, according to yoga journal.
Other researchers suggested that yoga inner demonstration of calmness may also have a profound effect in the healing process of the whole person--mind, body, and spirit.


Dr. Ott MJ at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, said, "Formal and informal daily practice fosters the development of profound inner calmness and nonreactivity of the mind, allowing individuals to face, and even embrace, all aspects of daily life, regardless of circumstances".


Indeed, yoga found the inner peace of participants through intimacy and ability to listen to the body even in sadness, grief and other festering emotions.

More importantly, in a study of 8 healthy male volunteers of the age group 25.9 +/- 3 (SD) years assigned to Santhi Kriya practice daily for 50 minutes for 30 days with volunteer's body weight, blood pressure, oral temperature, pulse rate, respiration, ECG and EEG were recorded before and after the practice on the 1st day and subsequently on 10th, 20th and 30th day of their practice, researchers at the end of the experiment postulated that there was a gradual and significant decrease in the body weight and an increase in alpha activity of the brain (P less than 0.001) during the course of 30 days.

Further analysis also suggested that the increase of alpha activity both in occipital and prefrontal areas of both the hemispheres of the brain indicated an increase of calmness.


More importantly, Santhi Kriya practice expressed an increases oral temperature by 3 degrees F and decreases respiratory rate significantly on all practice days.


Santhi Kriya yoga, a mixture of combined yogic practices of breathing and relaxation.

According to Dr. Richard P. Brown, Patricia L. Gerbarg, Philip R. Muskin in the book of
How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, & Yoga in Mental Health, Santhi Kriya total cortical alpha activity in the brain is associated to relaxation calmness and awareness and the practice may be considered as an adjunct therapy to induce a state of greater relaxation.


Taking all together, there is no doubt that people engaged in yoga lessons regularly are less likely to make the wrong decision under pressure because of the result of yoga in the expression of greater calmness.
