Apart from strengthening the core, it also strengthens and lengthens the spine, increases flexibility of the body, increases the neuroplasticity of the brain, helps lengthen the ligaments, offers relief from hip pain and eases tensions in the back. Flipping upside down offers more than just peace and relaxation. From temporarily improving blood circulation in the body to giving a person more energy and focus in the long term, aerial yoga inversions are full of benefits.

Yoga for students - Namita Piparaiya who is a Yoga and Ayurveda lifestyle specialist and founder of Yoganama, suggests that Yoga's breathing techniques have calming effect on students, especially those who will be attending board examinations. It breaks the ‘exam fever’ as the advice to “breathe deeply” does not always help with relaxation and can even make anxiety work. “The fastest way to get some relief from exam stress is to take some slow deep breaths. When we start breathing slowly it starts relaxing the nervous system and helps put us at ease,” Namita revealed. She added, “However, a soon as we say ‘breathe deeply’, people start over breathing by trying to take excessively large amount of air in - which doesn’t help with relaxation and can even make anxiety work. Therefore its important to get the technique of deep breathing right to get the most out of this practice.”(Pixabay)
