Does Yoga Reduce Stress? What Do Studies Say?

Posted on October 21, 2019October 23, 2019 by yogacentral

It is a well-established scientific fact that physical exercise improves the mood and reduces stress. As a yoga instructor I have certainly found this to be true.

Shavasana – Why the Corpse Pose is So Important

Posted on August 21, 2019September 5, 2019 by yogacentral

I have been attending Sashi's yoga classes since the last 3 years. Sashi's understanding of the human body and mind and how each aasan affects the mind and body is explained... so.beautifully. Her mix of aasans and almost each session is different than the other with almost no repetition of the aasans is astounding. My blood pressure has been in control due to her classes. Also outstanding location of the studio far away from the hustle bustle despite being at the heart of pali hill is another plus. Wish Sashi all the best.read more
