The document discusses how yoga practice and breathing techniques can affect the autonomic nervous system. Specifically, it describes how certain poses and breathing methods stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps calm the body and reduce stress responses. It provides examples of poses that have been shown to improve cardiac health by increasing vagal tone and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. The document encourages establishing a simple daily yoga practice with restorative poses and focused breathing to help manage stress levels and promote relaxation.

yoga is an art of living. It is more of a lifestyle than a mere physical activity. this presentation takes you through the meaning and types of yoga and also sheds light on various asanas and meditation techniques.
Cyclic meditation is an advance yet simple yoga practice to uproot the problem of stress from body and mind.
The practice is based from the insights of ancient Mandukya Upanishad dating back to 500 BC.
The ancient yet most contemporary yoga practice for working professionals is based on the age old essence of yoga, in fact all spiritual sadhana i.e. the principle of 'stimulation' and 'relaxation'.
It's a 20 minute practice in which cycle of simple asana is interspersed with relaxation technique leaving you completely refreshed, calm and happy.
In "A Mindfulness & Breath-Based Approach to Yoga for Stress Management & Resilience," Maggie Reagh discusses the yogic principles and research that support this approach.

1. The Autonomic Nervous System and Yoga Practice Lisa Schmidt Pacific Yoga Teacher Training 500 Hour Program Final Anatomy Project May 1, 2010
2. ABSTRACT Different methods of breathing and yoga practice can affect the autonomic nervous system and have an impact of the functions we ordinarily consider to be under unconscious control. Abnormal breathing and movement patterns can stimulate autonomic reactions associated with anxiety, panic, and other nervous system stimulation. By contrast, quiet breathing and introspective yoga postures influence the autonomic circuits that slow the heartbeat and reduce blood pressure, producing calm and a sense of stability. Our ability to control respiration consciously gives us access to autonomic function that no other system of the body can boast.
9. What Causes the Stress Response? Initial Fight or Flight Response Mobilizes body for immediate action Slower Resistance Reaction Stage of Exhaustion
11. Parasympathetic NS Conditioning and Practice Activates the Rest and Digest System Benefits include resting, digesting, healing Powerfully affected by respiration rate, levels of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Let it go!!

Study: Iyengar Yoga and Cardiac Rehabilitation Scientific Study on Yoga’s biological effects Improves Vagal Tone Significantly improved cardiac autonomic nervous tone The effect produced on the heart when only the parasympathetic nerve fibers (which are carried in the vagus nerve) are controlling the heart rate. The parasympathetic nerve fibres slow the heart rate from approximately 70 beats per minute to 60 beats per minute

50. Birdwings by Rumi Your grief for what you've lost lifts a mirror up to where you are bravely working. Expecting the worst, you look, and instead, here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see. Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birdwings
