From Stress to Serenity: This International Happiness Day Unlock Happiness With Yoga At Niraamaya Wellness Retreats

Inputs By: Devanshi Jain. Yoga and Wellness Strategist, Niraamaya Wellness Retreat

• Reduces Stress and Anxiety
  Yoga’s deep breathing and mindful movements activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promoting calmness. A relaxed mind is a happy mind!

• Boosts Feel-Good Hormones
  Yoga stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—the "happiness hormones" that lift mood and enhance well-being.

• Improves Mindfulness and Gratitude
  Yoga teaches us to stay present and let go of worries about the past or future. Mindfulness fosters gratitude, which leads to greater contentment.

• Enhances Physical Vitality
  A healthy body supports a happy mind! Yoga improves flexibility, boosts blood circulation, and strengthens muscles—making you feel more energized and positive.

• Encourages Connection and Positivity
  Yoga fosters a sense of connection—with yourself and with others. Practicing in a group setting enhances feelings of support and shared happiness.
