Being confined to our homes can make many of us tired mentally. Restricted travel, panic over danger of infection, continuous circulation of negative news, and inadequacy of everyday resources due to the corona pandemic are all adding to our growing anxiety. Besides staying connected to family and friends, and maintaining a healthy life-style, there is one more activity which can keep our anxiety and mental state under control – yoga. For ages, yoga has been known to be helpful for physical fitness and to keep the mind calm.
