Today people are adopting various methods and activities to remain happy.
The easiest way to be happy is to include yoga in your life. Happiness is an emotion emanating from your brain. If your mind feels calm and relaxed then you will feel happy but anxiety, depression and overthinking hinder happiness. In such a situation, practicing some yogasanas helps in keeping the mind calm, worry-free and happy.
Let us know which yoga should be done to remain happy.
Vajrasana
The practice of Vajrasana is helpful in keeping the mind calm. Along with this, Vajrasana provides relief from stomach problems and lethargy. To practice this asana, slowly lower your knees while keeping your arms at your sides and sit on the mat with your knees bent. Place the pelvis on the heels with the toes pointing outwards. Place the palms above the knees in Prathimudra. Now straighten your back and look forward. Stay in this position for some time, later come back to normal position.
Uttanasana
If you are a victim of depression then Uttanasana will prove to be very helpful. This keeps the mind calm. To practice Uttanasana, stand straight on the mat and take a deep breath and move your hands upward. Then while exhaling, bend forward and touch the ground with both hands. Try to touch your toes while keeping your hands down on the ground. During this, keep the knees straight. Stay in this position for some time, then exhale and move your hands up and stand in the normal position. The problem of sleep also goes away with this yoga.
Balasana
The body becomes flexible with this asana. Practicing this yoga asana provides mental peace and reduces stress. Even if you are suffering from insomnia, practicing this asana is beneficial. To do Balasana, sit on the ground in Vajrasana position and while inhaling, raise both your hands straight above the head. Now exhale and bend forward. Keeping your palms and head on the ground, take a long breath and exhale. Joining the fingers of the hands together, gently place the head between the two palms. After some time, come back to the old position.
