Breathe Out Exam Stress

Sore eyes, drowsy look, a stack of rough notes, sample test papers, and fresh stationary, all these describe the student gearing up for the exams. The litmus test is on with exams around the corner. Students are barred from watching TV, mobile phones confiscated and friends are not entertained. For some reason, friends are now looked upon as enemies. There is so much to do and so little time. We can see the student of the year crumbling under pressure!

The stage is set for a bigger one tomorrow. Here, we bring you the advantages of yoga and meditation and how they can help your kid to shine.

During preparation time:

1. Work hard and sleep well. Without physical and mental rest, memory and concentration are not strong. Wake up with the sunrise, and do some light yoga exercises like surya namaskar followed by simple breathing exercises (eg. Nadi Shodhan Pranayama).

2. 12 quick rounds of Surua Namaskar can be a good work out. It is a complete body workout which leaves one fresh and energetic.

3. Head bending poses: Forward bending yoga poses or yoga asanas bring more blood to the head region. Along with long deep breathing which increases the amount of oxygen in the blood the student can be more relaxed with a sharp and focused mind.
