The challenging time in which we live as a generation that for the first time encounters various situations that primarily concern our health and well-being, stopped us all in moment.The stress that has been ubiquitous so far has intensified as it has been further fueled by fear. Between business commitments, caring for a family and struggling with an uncertain economic situation, stress has unfortunately become a “normal” part of life for most people. Yoga as a technology of well-being, the science of body, mind, spirit and soul, is older than all religions and has absolutely nothing to do with them. This work of theoretical-empirical character will explain how the state of our mind manifests itself in the state of our body, that is, how we use yoga through the correction of the body (upright posture and breathing) to correct our mind and our behavior. This ancient system connects the mind and body through a series of postures, breathing exercises and meditation. When we practice yoga, we stretch the spine, stretch and strengthen the muscles and direct our mind inwards, thus relieving stress. All of this has benefits for our health as a whole, as stress at least partially plays a role in many diseases, and yoga as a method for living a better life offers tools to combat stress.
